(03/02/17) New! CSX Tank Car from Menards!

Cool!

I like it.

Nice! WIsh I had my train room done. n new cars till its done per the Boss!

Great looking tank car. I like a more prototypical car but this one is well done and nice detail.....and a tank car and a truck for $20 plus shipping is one great deal. 

How about a 50's era truck for a future free truck....you may be surprised how many you'd sell. 

What..what..I  placed another order today for more log flatcars,now this comes out.....jeezzzzz. hope my credit card is still good....

Bob, do Menards have greeters in their stores? Possibly you could look into that! I'm sure they're paid! Maybe you could work out a deal, train stuff instead of money! LOL

They have one.  Jack.

This car is a must buy !  I sure wish Menards stores would leave a selection of rolling stock beyond the holiday season.  Just a row or two of these new items.

I've been asking for that for about a year now.

I just love it, when Menard's announces a new product without any clues or any advance notice. I feel like I'm receiving a bonus. I just wish they would do this a lot more than they do. Once a week would be find with me.

With me living in monroe n.c.I can see and hear sal rr(now csx).This is a sharp looking tankcar.

I hate to report this but I finally opened my new CSX tank car tonight and when I put it on the track one truck is sitting on an angle, causing only one axle's wheels to contact the rail and the other to sit off the rail about 1/8 of an inch.

VISTADOMESCOTT, I have only bought a half a dozen Menards cars. Out of all of them when I placed the Union Pacific hopper on the tracks and one truck was sitting at an angle. When I picked it up to look at it I found one of the axles was not sitting in the truck frame. Once I popped it into place the car rolled perfectly...........Paul

Paul,  that was it!  It was sitting just out of the socket slightly!
