And here all of this time I thought Menard's had already made a brewery available? Still looking for a red car though...
DARKHORSE!! One of my favorite breweries! Double Crooked Tree is about the best beer I've ever had!

Funny Basil,
They are located across town about a mile south of me and of course on the other side of the "tracks"! A great success story and very popular indeed...
I've made the pilgramige! I was there last summer.
We've set a date! You can expect a new product announcement on Thursday (5/11)!
Here's another teaser to keep everyone occupied until then. Stay tuned for updates!
Thank you,

Flat cars with automobiles on them ( red ones 
)

Something great is coming, Bob...
That's a sticker sheet to mark your own road name. I'm thinking the car is in the parking lot of a building. Either a headquarters building or station with a parking lot?
So many possibilities. With the many railroad emblems some kind of freight building for a yard or a yard building. And I am sitting here burning up what little brains cells I have left wondering what it may be and Cabinet Bob already knows LOL.........Paul
Don't think it's a building, and they just did a station so I'm guessing a flat car with something terrific on it or possibly a small switch tower you can customize to your favorite road! Or I could be totally wrong and it's a model of Bob's house and the car is Mrs. Bob leaving in disgust! LOL Final answer!
Old style open-sided autoracks, a la Evans auto loader.
LOL...I KNOW nothing.......

Come now, CB, we all know you will have pics the day after release!
Basil, Bob already has the pictures, he just waits until after the release to show them! Instead of being jealous, I'm trying to get him to adopt me! LOL
Paul, I agree with Play Trains and don't think its a building! Just to many RR Names to make it coast effective! But I sure hope you saved some brain cells to finish your layout!
Play Trains I think your on the right track, but its hard to say. I don't think Mrs. Bob is going anywhere as long as she keeps getting her shoes, Plus Bob can use the shoe boxes to store all the non-Menards stuff he use to have on his layout! LOL
Don't let Bob fool you! He is one smart cookie!
As for me I think its one grand Rolling Brewery for the hard workers of the RR, That's why so many names!
Eighteen different flat cars with either a trailer or a container in all the above road names.

with flat bed tow trucks on them with a red car on the flatbed of the truck
...if you only knew..., LOL.. just wait till Thursday, it will be Grand. In my own opinion....the plot thickens.....
Remember, the maintenance shed came with a sheet of stickers of various road names so the buyer was able to customize it. That's why I believe this will be a yard building of some sort with a car in front of it.

The road names are not very friendly! No SP! Only one SP flat so far. I would be frindly for PFE, SSW, TNO....

WOW...that would be nice......The Menard's 11 inch flat with a nice 40' trailer mounted....TOFC style.......I'd have to have a few......If it's not that this time....good idea for them!!!
MKT in RED. The John Deere Green and yellow, ugh!
I'm thinking Bob is giving us a clue with the "Grand" in his reply....

And where are these stickers going??? Only the Shadow knows.......
Only about the evil that lurks in the hearts and minds of men! These clues aren't evil, but close to borderline! LOL
Stickers for the forum group to use?
Just cut and paste and print them on Avery sticker paper or decal paper?
Maybe the stickers/decals come with a unfinished box car and you add your favorite RR to it?
I want to say an open-sided auto carrier, but that seems a bit too intensive for Menards cars in terms of tooling and design. Unless the auto rack is made of MDF ...

Had a dream last night that when Mark goes on vacation CABINET BOB becomes the one in charge.......Oh wait a minute was that really a dream............silly me..............LOL.....Paul
Sorry to have to tell you Paul! That wasn't a dream! It was a nightmare! LOL
I've got to go with customizable auto-racks
We had some spot on guesses, great job!
Introducing our newest innovation – the 14-3/4” Bi-Level Auto Carrier! And, to make this deal even better, it comes with 6 die-cast Buicks and 18 interchangeable road names!
This 14-¾'' Bi-Level Auto Carrier comes fully loaded with six Buick automobiles, making their way from Detroit, MI to your train layout! Constructed primarily of wood, this innovative flatcar is the first construction of its kind. From its silver ladders to the authentic “TTX” markings, this bi-level auto carrier boasts exceptional detail and expert craftsmanship. Along with the Buick emblem on both sides, you can decorate this train car to match your favorite railroad with any of the 36 interchangeable decals included (2 of each road name).
After its initial introduction in the 1960s, the TTX F89F Flatcar became an important addition to contemporary railroads. Decidedly different from other long-bodied flatcars, the TTX F89F was outfitted with an auto carrier rack to accommodate a new kind of payload: Automobiles. These inventive flatcars allowed trains to haul brand-new vehicles from an assembly plant in Detroit, MI to automotive dealers nationwide. While we took a bit of an artistic license as we carefully crafted this car, we believe it captures the essence of this revolutionary flatcar. Each model features ladders, safety railing, and prototypical painting and lettering that are true to the spirit (if not the letter) of its historic form.

That breaks new ground!!! Looks great!!!
As several of you guys guessed it, great job !! This is a new concept of great things to come. Great job Mark !!
I Still think Bob just might be Mark! Just saying! LOL
I second what CABINET BOB SAYS. Awesome job. Great looking car. Mark and crew are riding high with another runaway hit. I am going to go for at least one for sure. Maybe even the four pack but I have dump the cars. Too modern for me. I will just have to figure out how to get beer kegs in there......LOL......Paul
Thanks Mark - Looks great!
I went to order it and the free panel truck promotion didn't work with this car so I'm not sure if it's excluded from the promotion?
Thanks again
Chris

Did you know ther3 is something missing from all the CARS? They do not have door handles on the outside! Guess that is like humans and animals having one less fingers or toes than real people or animals!
There are no people to get use a door handle in the Cars/Planes universe... Did you know the original concept for the Cars movies was for trains, instead? Man, what I'd have given for that movie to have been made, even though I am a big fan of the Cars films.
I collect anything with the Sarge character from that series, as I own a real WW2 Jeep. I really need to get one of these eventually!
