Hey Mark from Menards, what are the dimensions of the container that comes with your new forklift? If they are similar to the container to the other merchant container pictured above, I'd like to suggest the possibility of having those containers for separate sale.
As a traditional 027 sort of operator, I really like the smaller, non-scale proportioned containers and I could see myself being in the market for a few of those. Those are perfect "scale" for "my scale."
Of course, whether the item is available from your vendor, and whether or not there would be sufficient sales potential, that I could only guess. But I'm sure Lionel has sold a far greater quantity of the traditionally sized containers that they made for decades now, versus some of the more recent, more scale proportioned ones.

By the way, another nice product from Menards. Not every product will appeal to everyone, but you guys seem to be doing a good job at trying to please a broad base of customers with your many diverse products. In addition, something like that game show... and the price is right.
