Nice looking car; reminds me of their old logo:
"Sinclair Dino Supreme"
Nice one!
Great looking cars! Order is already in! These have been flying of the shelves since this morning. Thanks for posting Mark from @Menards!
Yup, ordered one up, and some 0- 72 curves to try.
Are the 6 pack all gone. It doesn't give an option at the bottom to add to cart. Thanks Dave
How about a black Gulf tank car with a large orange Gulf sign or a white Texaco with the red logo.

At the moment it looks like it. Sometimes they’ll reappear so keep an eye on them today. If they pop up and I see them, I’ll give a heads up here. At the rate these are selling, the individual tank cars might be sold out faster than the M&Ms caboose.
Son of a gun, yesterday I decided to pull the trigger and buy a 24-pack of Menard's O72 since I am tired of looking at the motley crew of pre-war, post-war, LTI, and K-Line I have. Saw the Sinclair and added that to the box on a whim. Grew up in Broadview, IL, the street ended in Illinois Central and Indiana Harbor Belt ROW, and in the opposite direction along Roosevelt Road was a Sinclair station. Lionel made a three pack of Sinclair tank cars, but the asking price on fleabay always seems high.
Trying the 'deliver to store' feature.
Only 72 left! 6 packs still never became available again.
Are the singles more expensive even after the 6 pack sold out? Dave

Slightly more expensive.
Got my order in for four, missed out on the 6 pack.
Not 100% sure, but it looks like they are all sold out now! Those went fast! Thankfully got an order in before they disappeared.
got to say for the money its a deal...but...my last two from them...a MM caboose and a SF flat car the quality, paint etc was pretty cheap..Im going back to Lionel etc...
I want to just make a positive comment here. While I don't own tons of Menard's rolling stock like some folks, there is one thing about their business model I really appreciate, and that is availability. When something is advertised, it is available. There is no waiting for months and months to see if something is on the water, or did enough get ordered to actually make into production. The immediate availability to the consumer is great. As far as I know, this is the only supplier that currently operates this way. I still have to wait for at home shipping because I don't live within a reasonable distance to a Menard's store, but I don't really mind.
Don't get me wrong I love the big catalogs and wishlists, and the amazing features on locomotives I can't afford are a marvel to see, but knowing something new can be had now, instead of maybe later, is a huge bonus. I hope this doesn't change. The tracking said my Dino tanker should be here Saturday. I am really looking forward to it.
