Oh Oh! I better warn my friend who is a C&NW nut.

Looks like a weathered C&NW boxcar or hopper.
5 days before my Birthday? There goes the money I was saving up for the flight to space.
Uh oh! Is it a building?
The rivets tell me no
I'll go with a weathered C&NW hopper...That's my guess.
Now what? 
Looks like Menards is keeping a rolling stock manufacture busy somewhere.

Can't wait to see whats next in a structure.
Shoot. That's one of my roads. The wallet is at risk again.
Could it be a weathered gondola? I wonder how many numbers this item will come in?
Easter release. A boxcar with egg crates? This new product a week is killing my budget.
Menards has its act together. Good stuff.
Doing it this way, there probably won't be any delays.
I just found this on their website! Looks like they weathered a stripe in the middle of the door?

Yes, they weathered the body rib that goes . . . oh wait. Rather mebarassing I would think, if it fact the real product has that (this may be a pre-production photo-shopped picture, I've been told people do that for weathering projects)..
Otherwise a beautiful weathered car, although I think it is traditional sized, not scale. Otherwise I would order many, since they are sequentially numbered, a chance to get a "set" of any number you want . . . neat idea.
Grain silo building. That is my guess.
Those aren't rivets - it's stitching. I think it's a leather cigar case in CNW livery.
I too am waiting for the new release! Just got my Hobby shop and Moe's garage! Love them! What I am waiting for more than the new release is whether I get the e-mail announcing it!!!
iT'S A WEATHERED BOX CAR. http://www.menards.com/main/p-2727798-c-13318.htm

Mark, really like the boxcar, but absolutely love the fact I got the e-mail about it! Thanks for the fix!
Very nice rolling stock offering.
Maybe consider placing the 'Blt by Menards' on the underside of the car.

Here is a Chicago & North Western freight car idea with consecutive numbers.
Produce the entire series of CNW 490000-490999 series Thrall Car built 5250 Cubic Foot Capacity 4-bay covered hoppers. Nobody has done that in O Scale.

In the email Menard's sent out there offering a deal. If you buy 8 the cost will be $149.92 which works out to be $18.74 per car. That's a savings of $6.25 per car or a total of $50.00 in savings. That's a real good deal. I guess I'll have to go for it.

Super deal for sure. It is amazing that Menards can get these boxcars with diecast trucks and steel frames built for such a low price.
