(08/15/19) New! Lighted Caboose from Menards!

Very nice, certainly would match up well with your Milwaukee black & orange boxcars.

I'm going to dig out the Milwaukee engine for this nice set now.

Looks great!! Any chance Menards will bring back some of the previous models?

Yes, it would be great to see some other road names. Interesting that there is only one option. Seem like most the expense is in the molds, not the painting/lettering. 

Well, the Menards boxcars are the exact same car as boxcars offered by RMT. So, I assume they have access to other car molds there in China also.

SOO LINE in bright red with the slanted SOO logo and white stripes around the caboose, like how the SD60M were painted and decaled, would be a good look for this caboose.

Fantastic! I was worried there would be no more cabooses from Menards.

Now that is handsome!

Takes care of the rear, now on to the front...uh, "other" caboose was mentioned?  Must have missed that..

Put the 1950's and 1960's red and yellow SOO LINE scheme on these cabooses that were in service up into the late 1970's on the Soo Line Railroad.

Wow, 2 new releases  today !!! They both look fantastic  !!!

This can't be right?  That looks like it was made from the old Marx mold that made the cabooses included in Marx E unit diesel sets, and others.  Was that mold used by K-Line, also?

Both of these say alternating red marker lights. Where are they? Not shown in these pics?

The Shop Now link has a video if you click on the caboose image.

The Milwaukee looks great for the price.
