Pepsi Syrup Tanker Car?
Or Pepsi Truck on Flat Bed. :-)
Pepsi TOFC
July 21 is the birthday of Mahlon Loomis, father of wireless communication. Nothing to do with Pepsi, I suppose, just thought it was interesting.
Did you know Pepsi was originally called "Brad's Drink" ?
Maybe a Pepsi tofc! I seen some on ms Suzie Q and on the curve!
Will have to wait for Coca Cola... darn.
Maybe a diner ?
"Popping with excitement?" Maybe a Pepsi rocket launch car.
It's a fire truck, I'm right for SURE this time!
Most people know GM help back the American Freedom Train. But Pepsi also was a backer!
A tanker for the carbonated water?
Beginning of a Pepsi based boxcars?
Pepsi trailer on a flat car.
A sponsor!
A bottling plant.
Dick
I'm going with bottling plant.
Terrance
Boxcar
A Pepsi vat car, I hope , I hope, I hope!!!!!!!
I would vote bottling plant but given the recent releases building wise in HO I have to lean toward a flat car with a Pepsi trailer on it...Paul
No Pepsi, Coke!...unless it is scale 
Station with a vending machine.
Hey John,
Menards does not make scale freight cars. Some may be close but most are not.
Uh oh, David. You may have just ignited the Great Debate.
Something Blue to go with my Red Lennox Rig
I keep guessing because one of these days they will say the winner with the most right guesses will have a chance to sit in on a production meeting on trains and even have a bit of input. My wife says I am always a dreamer but sometimes dreams come true....................Paul
Pepsi TOFC I hope, I hope!

That is why the blue on the red, white and blue paint job is that color.
Hi MENARDS / 50's Style Structure, with neon lights.

Maybe a new engine?
Another TOFC?
Possible paint schemes for their freight cars from this old O-27 set.

RadioRon posted:Why do people even guess on these things? .....And regarding the vat car guess.... really? Menards just debuted a new caboose. I don't think we will be seeing any vat cars. Even MTH never copied Lionel on those (& MTH copies anything anyone else does).
I guessed a vat car because I would like to see one. You may think it's silly but you don't have over 85 different vat cars. There is room for every little quirk in this hobby. As far as MTH not making vat cars goes, it's their loss. and while were on the subject, whatever happened to the K-Line vat car molds? They used to be the best with the opening hatches.
OK Mark.. This is Wed. how about another teaser...(please)
Ok, i'm waiting too! With the new offerings, the free Goodyear car and the Pepsi TOFC (I hope) I think tomorrow I jump on it! Lol

Cabinet Bob,
Just one teaser this week. I'm enjoying the suspense!

Pepsi also owns:
1. KFC.
2. Long John Silvers.
3. Pizza Hut.
Pepsi itself could be a red herring!
Pepsi owns Frito Lay... Rold Gold, Doritos, Lays, Ruffles, Tostitos, etc .
Definitely not the real thing.
Come on Mark were waiting (For those that are up)
this is going to be a long day.... waiting..waiting..waiting.....
Now you are talking PEP, food group. I concur, although, probably a little late, ( can they reproduce it and ship, in less than 2 hours)
BUT, Gary's view of a pepsi, plant, probably would generate the same following as the American P and L., Just a thought.
