(09/28/21) Free Lighted Texaco Truck from Menards!

Mark,

Will the door have Texaco backwards as shown in the picture or correct? 

The logo will be backwards, they clarify it in the PDF Mark attached.

Gotcha - I missed the PDF attachment. Thanks

Just look at it in a mirror the decal looks fine !

I guess if we were applying Chinese decals we wouldn’t know if they were backwards or not.

BTW. these will become valuable factory errors in about somebody’s else’s lifetime.

Funny. Just like the upside down New Haven gondola.

THANK YOU!! I have not yet received the email.

I’m gonna have to check that out. Unfortunately I live in California and a fair amount of the train stuff that Menards sells are not Prop 65 labeled and Menards won’t ship them to CA.  And the only way to find out is to put the stuff in the basket and try to checkout, then you get the can’t ship to CA because of Prop 65 message! Argh! Wish me luck!

I just picked up two lighted flat cars along with two Lighted Texaco Trucks.   Great deal actually.

Another tangible benefit of checking on the forum routinely!  Thank you, Menards for the offer!  That was enough to entice me to purchase my first Menards flat car.

I sure would like to see Menards produce the same year pickup as the Texaco one in the older Gulf Oil logo to complement my fuel depot.

Wrong colors, too. Texaco trucks were mostly painted in their colors, which were red and white, sometimes with some green.

Check it out, we added a few more items to the FREE Texaco truck promotion!

Argghh ..... if the National Power & Light were added, I'd be a player.

Menard's, since you are trying to get rid of these Texaco trucks, why don't you give a free Texaco truck with the purchase of any building or freight car over $20.00 in stock.

Hi Jim, no disrespect to Mendards, but they are trying to unload older stock. I know this because I live in Calif. and their older model railroad stuff has no Prop 65 markings on the box, and the buildings, boxcars and flatcars with the Texaco truck do not have Prop 65 markings. It's unfortunate that I have to go to checkout to find out it's not Prop 65 compliant, so I can't order them if they are being shipped to my home in Calif. Bummer!
