Thanks! I could use a 6 pack and a rebate!
These are appealing.

These Menards tank cars are very nice. I love tank cars. How about something in green. Menards, a fueling station would be great for your tank cars.
Those are great looking! Would love to see some Procor ones too.

These are very nice. I am hoping to buy one.
Maybe an EJ&E tank car next? It would be an all-new product for O-gauge trains (no one else has made EJ&E-anything except boxcars, engines, and a gondola). Or even coil cars!
Maybe even a final US Steel product before they are bought out by Nippon? @Menards
Nice but Im out. The deal breaker is the conspicuity striping on the car sides. For tank cars, it wasn't until 2005 that tank cars were given conspicuity striping, way too late for my era plus I already have a ton of projects already.
Ordered two of the white ones this morning (already have two of the black ones).
Odd, I was charged sales tax on an order shipping to NY. I thought that didn't apply when shipping to a state that where the seller doesn't have a business presence. Same thing on the two ACF hoppers I ordered in January.

RailRide, You should call them and ask them why.
Great way to make an impressive oil train without spending a fortune

May be a deal breaker for you, but an unusual & welcome tankcar design for those modeling in the current era.

Unfortunately, most sates are charging sales tax on mail orders and auction sales also. At least a couple of years now.
It was seldom a question of whether sales tax was owed on mail order sales. Rather it was about whether the seller could be obligated to collect and pay over the sales tax. In my state starting in 2019 out of state sellers became obligated to collect and pay over sales tax if either they did $100k in annual gross sales in the state or they did 200 or more transactions within the state.

Not too long after I made the above reply, I saw a youtube ad for a firm that assists businesses in figuring out use taxes for out-of-state customers, so it's likely Menards is collecting sales tax for the buyer's locality: Investopedia: Use taxes
