Check out our newest center-flow hoppers!
Choose from the bright, beautiful Union Pacific yellow or the realistically weathered version. Either way, you can't go wrong!
We also received a limited supply of Union Pacific dummies. Get yours while you can!
In case you missed it, I've attached today's O gauge train email below.
Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

Got my dealer pack of weathered hoppers ordered!
Lookin good I’ll be ordering!
Nice - waiting on the Bluebonnet dummy, as well.
That is exciting.
There could then be Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio Center-Flow 2-bay covered hoppers that are yellow with blue 1960 to 1972 Era graphics.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL GULF's 1970's graphics be applied to the Center-Flow 2-bay covered hoppers.

Thank you Menards for producing this beautiful Uhioh Pacific hopper.A Burlington Nortthen and Chessie would be great. Please produce them.
How about nonpainted hoppers to offer would like to create my own design ?
Winchester & Western has CENTER FLOW 2-bay covered hoppers that are very similar to this model.
Andrew
The FRISCO version could be white with red, yellow, and black graphics, instead of just gray with only black markings.

So who has ordered and received these new hoppers. Please tell us about them.
Just arrived!
The problem couplers are gone! All metal wheels, fully sprung trucks, and couplers. And we have rotating bearing caps. The weathering looks nice, not too heavy, level of detail is good. They are bigger than I thought, 10.5" coupler face to coupler face, almost 4" tall and 2.5" wide. After a drop of oil the axles turn nicely, wheels all look to rotate true. Nice improvement from earlier offerings and worth the extra $10 IMO.
Here's some pictures:
love those new truck. I may order one when they release more paint schemes.
Awwk! Bright lemon yellow! :-O
Closer to orange actually.
Molded color plastic.
