Menards has always offered outstanding customer service as it relates to trains.  

I had a minor defect with an item and customer service was overly apologetic, sent me a replacement item with priority delivery and let me keep the original item.

I would never hesitate to buy trains from Menards as they fully stand behind their products.

I give them an A+ and their service is better than some of the other larger manufacturers.

Well those who know me know the Western Maryland is my favorite road.  Of course Wild Mary wears WM on his sleeve.  Thank you for the giant size picture of the WM 4-bay hopper!  However, those who know me also know I only run 2-bay hoppers on my 1950 era road.  Well, I think Menards has just pulled me into the 60s and 70s with that one!  

Bob you were so right!  Rock on!!

I agree Mark, it is a nice looking hopper.

I was at the Menard's on Broad st Columbus Ohio today. They had one complete isle for trains. 90% was buildings. a few were plugged in and where cool to see in person working. Great to see some of the buildings in person....the sash building was HUGE and very nice! 

I bought a new AT&SF 'box/reefer' well done. I did not ever want one but the lighted billboard  at $20 was to good to pass up. Nice and heavy....very well made. 

Full review and photos when I get home.

Well the delay is perfect for me, as I plan to take ownership of a new house the first week of December, so Now I can get them as a house warming gift to my self lol. I see a few I like. I really need more hoppers for my Virginian hopper train set and I like the B&M to go with my Paul Revere set. I see others i like also so I can see some additions to my collection. 

Always has been pins and needles for me waiting for the next announcement from Menards. Now they have added coming down the road soon. But I like the new announcements. Some good looking cars. I am with Bill T waiting for the solid black tank cars. Well done again Mark, the crew and Bob. And Bob you are one of the best secret keepers I have ever met. While it is on my mind will you be doing the Menards show again next year................Paul

Paul, I hope to be if it's the first weekend in July, if not, I'll be in Reno.

Based on what I see every year at the Warren Ohio store:  the military rolling stock is always plentiful and leftover, whereas the railroad livery rolling stock sells out quickly.  I bought a Santa Fe box car 3 weeks ago, the shelf was stocked.  The following week only a Milwaukee Road box car remained and a full shelf of military cars.  This was happening last year as well.  Routinely customers were putting 3 or more freight cars in their shopping carts. A stronger pipeline of stock may be warranted.

 

Mark, you should pull a Paul2, and tell the wife you need something for the house and make a trip to Menards! Call it a little road trip, bring back some duck tape or something, and tell while you were there they happened to have some train stuff out! LOL

Bob, sounds like its going to be a great Christmas for a lot of folks! Thanks Menards!
