(11/14/17) Free 1:48 Lighted Shelby from Menards!

Nice. thank you.

going to need to get another auto transport car for all of these free items !!!

Its a good thing I built a auto ramp!Actually 2 of them!

I tried to buy 4 different hoppers it added the cars but only gave me one for free. It wants me to pay the $24.99 each for the other three. Is this a just one free no matter how many you buy. If so why is it add all the other cars on there automatically

Now it's adding the cars but not giving you them for free even when you go into check out.

Nice ramps!  Are these from a kit or are they scratch built?  I'm looking for something like this, so any info you can provide would be great.

i would try purchasing one at a time, even if it was in separate orders. This is an awesome giveaway, seems worth the little hassle. I needed the power plug for the hotel, and am so glad I didn't pull the trigger when they were giving away the kubota tractor...I like the shelby a lot!

Its probably just a glitch in the Menards cart - I'd hold fire and see if it clears up.

Buying them one at a time will result in multiple shipping charges/packages.

I didn't think of multi-shipping charges, as mine is free ship to store...

Bill,

It looks like everything is working now. If you would try once again, it should work!

Thank you for your patience!

Hi Bossman, they are both scratch built from plexi glass. When I get home tonight I can send you pictures of the build.  I gave one to Cabinet Bob!

Mike, I like this one best.    

Me Too! BNSF all the way! 

Nice Mike, share with Dad but not your brothers? This must be real sibling rivalry! LOL Beautiful job though!

Father's Day isn't for another 7 mos.

Mark, any chance you'll do another run of the Morton Salt Hoppers? I am purchasing a Morton Factory from you this week. I would love to add some cars to it eventually.

Bob, e-mail in my profile, I have six I think, willing to part with some. Never out of the box!

That's our brother, always kissing up to Dad! LOL

Just pulled the trigger on the power supply for the hotel building. It's too bad the deal is for any $19.99 item, and not total- I just purchased a buttload of the Menards three rail track. I picked up some from the store and was quite impressed at how nicely it fit together. However, the real reason I am purchasing track? Each curve is labeled on the bottom. No more making guesses on 042 or 054 curves. I picked up 031 and 036 track and you can barely tell them apart, until you flip them over.
nice headache preventer...

Oh man! They were giving away tractors?  The Shelby is nice but sure to get stuck plowing the fields.

Just because your such a nice brother, I can build you one if you would like.

Fantastic!  But just the other day I ordered a bunch of Menard's train items.  Hindsight says I should have waited, but I did get 8 flat cars with the tractors, so I'm not complaining.

But there's a few more things I could get that I didn't order yet.  

Wow, great deal just ordered 5 items that qualified.  Even if I don't keep all 5 lighted Shelby's (keeping at least 2) can probably sell them at the next train show I get a table at and pay for the items that I did order.

Engineer Bob,

It's possible that we may do another production run but I can't say for certain. Sorry, Bob!

It's not exactly what you are looking for but our 6-Piece Assorted Covered Hoppers includes the Morton Salt Hopper. It's a great deal for the 6-Pack and you get some beautiful hoppers too!
