(07/18/16) Free Goodyear Boxcar from Menards!

I haven't even unpacked my Trailways yet

I think Menards should make Nickel Plate Road rolling stock.

Fantastic-
I've been wanting this Good Year car, so now I have two coming, as well as the illuminated caboose and the Mack Military truck on a flatdeck.

5 items for <$50. Tell me this 2 years ago & I would have called you a liar.

Well there is my excuse for ordering my Army flat car with 2 paneled trucks.  Just ordered! Thanks Menards.    

Never bought a Menards car before. What is the package/box like?

Steve

in my experience, its just a plain no frills box

Just a plain Brown Box sixed for the car and plastic boxing around the item.

Has anyone noticed the post refers to "any car 19.99 or more" while the flyer says "any car over 19.99"?

steam rules,

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! The promotion includes $19.99 items. I will make sure the verbiage is corrected going forward.

Thanks!

This is a great deal!! Ordered the Pepsi truck on CSX flat car the other day and got the free box car. Crazy good deal!! That comes out to one Diecast scale truck and two rail cars for $25 total.

For me the package just protects the car. Once I get it the package has done it's job and moves on to recycling.  I know your mostly into tin like me these days but for the money you just can't beat these cars!

Chris, I ordered 5 plus 5 free Goodyear cars. I will donate them to TCA WD for our monthly door prize drawings. Don't want that plastic to contaminate my beautiful tin. I just wanted to make sure they come in a protective box until needed.

I hear ya Steve.  Those cars will fit the bill nicely!

Mark, any 11th hour recourse,  I was jumping on the band wagon of flat cars,

Thanks

arrsd90,

The free boxcar promotion was very successful and we ended up selling out completely. Unfortunately, we had to enact the "while supplies last" clause.

Throw something back out here in a few, weeks,  those copters will probably still be on the hanger deck

waiting on ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to run the Goodyear cars with my Alaska train.  From the photos, it seems like they should be a good color match to the other cars I have, in what is mostly a yellow and blue train.
