(07/14/16) CNW Caboose from Menards!

A F.R.E.D?

crossing gate or Husky Stacker with FRED/ETD  !

A flatcar with a blinking device!

Whatever it is,I'll  be happy !  ETD maybe?

Be a F.R.E.D, Be very a F.R.E.D! LOL

Introducing the brand new contemporary "train board" game made exclusively by Menards called Take A Guess At What We're Going To Offer Next Week. It's a fun game that can be played by all ages.

The game is easily played. You simply turn on your computer and go to the O Gauge Railroading Forum, and then look for the weekly thread posted by Mark.

The idea of the game is quite simple. You consider the types of products Menards has already come out with, keeping in mind that producing trains is a side business for Menards as a whole. Meaning there most likely will not be products from brand new expensive tooling every week, or even every month.

Instead of moving a game piece on a board, you scroll down the page, until you come to the "add reply" box. You then type in a reasonable realistic guess as to what it might be, like a flat car with a blinking device. It might not be the correct answer, BUT completely reasonable.

Or if you are so inclined, you type a completely unrealistic guess like...

A brand new fully scale engine with all the top notch features offered from other train makers, who are selling them for nearly a grand, but Menards is going to sell them for $99.95. And then you'll wonder if Menards will also give out a free train car with every locomotive purchase.

Upon submitting that unrealistic guess, you will see the following, meaning better luck next time ....

I am hoping for a vintage fire truck on a flat car, something from the 30's.

It might be a factory building with operating safety lights.

The winner is..............A complete set of weathered/run down buildings so you can create your OWN Red Light District in 1/48 scale. 

My guess is End of train device.

It's a 1956 Shasta trailer turning left.

My guess is a school bus

Based on the shape of the light and the frequency of its flashing, I'd say it's part of a crossing signal. That would be a nice addition to the Menards O gauge train line.

intermodal crane/forklift for loading all their flat cars.

         it has to be Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer.

It's HAL...

I hope everyone is excited about tomorrow's release!

Here's your second teaser.

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

A really dynamite pole dancing outfit? LOL Okay, no more, promise!!!

buy one get one free

I give up..Another sleepless nite coming up     ..

Looks like a crossing signal.

I agree with others. A crossing signal. Until the actually pic of the new item the fun is seeing how many different ideas are set forth.....Mark is getting very good at cloak and dagger with clues.........Paul

I agree with Action Jaxon, a school bus.  Or maybe a wrecker?

Fire Truck with working lights.

Crossbucks for a few bucks. 

Well... It's almost noon!!!! 

yeah... its like Christmas morning menards .....Don't keep us waiting.....

Introducing our very first O gauge caboose!

Prelit and ready to go! Complete your train with this O Gauge Chicago & North Western Lighted Caboose. Adorned with the iconic green and yellow coloring, this caboose comes equipped with a classic cupola. Seen in the middle of the car, this elevated area functions as a lookout point for the conductor so he can keep the train on its chosen path. As this colorful caboose races along the track, the interior comes alive with incredible illumination, which beautifully filters through the frosted glass windows. And, so the caboose can be seen at night, this charming model features alternating LED marker lights on the trailing end of the train. Historic yet intricate in design, the O Gauge Chicago & North Western Lighted Caboose also includes improved plastic trucks, metal wheels and operational couplers. Each caboose is uniquely numbered, so no two are the same! SKU# 279-2645

I'm in!!  I have been wanting a traditional sized C&NW caboose to bring up the rear of my C&NW "baby" Hudson!!

order Placed!!

Love It

Wow!!!!

very nice! Love the Lighting!

That is a cool little caboose, but 645 is correct about the logo. It should be "system" (singular). This won't bother most folks, especially in a non-scale caboose, but it may matter to C&NW purists.

I would bet, this was the way they were made. I hope, I'm wrong.

Love this one !  Ordered...      Mark  could this be the next one ?      LOL

I don't even collect CNW, haven't been running with cabooses or "cabeeses" but I am once again drawn back in.  Mark, how did you know?

That's really cool, an illuminated caboose for $25!  Those should fly off the shelves!  Now, if we could have a PRR or Reading one, that would be really cool!

OK, I might just get one.  UP and CNW pooled stuff, and some got the the Friendly SP!

I do have the UP Williams CNW Heritage.  Cabooses were gone by then, but one can dream.......

How about a car with a FRED?

You had me at Caboose 

If you were being a purist the C&NW caboose would be 1950's red or 1970's traditional yellow, and a 1980's CNW caboose would be Safety yellow.

This is a caboose for fun not for historical accuracy.
