Hi Everyone,

In case you missed these last time (they sold out within a couple hours), here's another chance.

Santa Fe Warbonnet Lighted Dummy Unit (279-4429)
Shop Now >

The Nonpowered Union Pacific Engine from Menards!

This classic locomotive design hails from the Golden Age of American railroading and is often dubbed "the diesel that did it," in the transition from steam to diesel locomotives.

The Menards nonpowered engine features America’s most recognized railway graphics - the classic Santa Fe Warbonnet livery - that set a new visual standard for railway graphic design.

The engine comes equipped with crew figures in the cab, a bright LED headlight, backup light, and classification lighting. The model has working front and rear couplers.

The model showcases premium painting and decoration of the complex Santa Fe silver, red, and yellow livery. Cast-in detailing includes portholes, rivet/seam detail, and exhaust and radiator fans.

The engine measures 13 in. long and navigates O-31 diameter curves, and all contemporary track brands. And, this engine will work as both the lead engine or as the trailing engine!



In case you missed it, I've attached today's train email below.

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

Dummy unit arrived yesterday. Never would I have imagined where I live out in the country there would be Amazon trucks, Postal, UPS or Fed Ex trucks on a Sunday.

It's a decent addition to the Lioncheif Santa Fe, not an exact match but adds to the interest. Noticed there was a "diesel sounds" switch on the bottom, left it off, powered up the test track, no lights, nothing. Took it off the track, flipped the switch, the lights flickered then dimmed slowly. My assumption is there is a capacitor. Put it back on the track, powered up, it lights up fine. Nice and bright.

Not keen on the couplers, but what can one expect. Will have to post a photo later.
