Would there be any interest in some milk cars? I seen a video someone had once of a Lionel milk train rolling with probably 30 of the (inoperable) white milk cars. It was quite impressive. 

The UFO would love this 

Last year at our community layout I built a UFO scene, and I filled a flat car with Ertl Cows with an alien on each end. The Aliens were glow in the dark and in a hidden area of a tunnel, I filled it with lights. The car would come out of the "dark" tunnel glowing. The kids loved it and the parents tried to figure it out...

Dave: it came out in 2014.It was one of the first boxcars20180926_071655

I think this roadname one of the first Menards boxcars I've ordered. Mostly because it matched (sort-of) a Kusan boxcar I resurrected from a 2014 estate sale (a number of M's boxcars happen to resemble vintage Kusan paint schemes). This was back when the boxcars were still packaged in a clear-dome container with a stapled-on "floor".

Which reminds me--if anyone out there isn't keeping the packaging for their Menards boxcars, I'm looking for three of the cardboard cartons with their plastic clamshells, and two for the Menards tank cars . Roadname does not matter. E-mail is in my profile.
