(11/30/21) New Candy Cars from Menards!

That tanker car looks awesome - just ordered one.

Just ordered my 4 pack!!!

Mark or anyone who knows...

I put the four pack candy cars and some other things in my cart and by the time checked out the black ford truck freebie was sold out.  I know the ad says while supplies last and that it will automatically substitute a white ford truck but the system does not seem to substitute it and won’t let me check out with the black trucks in the cart.  If I select the white trucks instead it does not give the discount.

how do I do it correctly?

thanks, Bill

Good question Bill !

Bill,

We've officially switched over to the free lighted white pickup truck (279-6296), as of about 10 minutes ago. Try checking out once more and it should work.

Thank you,

It works ! Thank you Mark !

Worked. Thank you Mark

Was picking up my new Sinclair and Texaco tank cars today and saw that they had the Hersey’s tank car on the shelf. I could not pass up the Hersey’s tank car. All roll great on my super O track.  Another home run Menards!

are the Sinclair tank cars still available on line?  Website won't let me add to cart.

Mark, I checked out with 4 pack plus yellow M&M car. Will the white Ford be automatically added?

Hi UnlcePete,

Was the white Ford in your card when you checked out? They won't know to ship the truck if it's not on your order.

Email Guest@menard-inc.com if you forgot the truck, they should be able to help you.

Santa Fe VA,

I'm pretty sure that the Sinclair is sold out but can still get it in the assorted 6-pack (279-6743).

There are some available in our retail stores, but it's hard to say because all the store tank cars are listed under the same SKU#. If you know someone who lives near a Menards store, you could ask them to check it out for you.

The Sinclair seems to be the pick of the litter this year!

Hi Mark, will Menard’s be restocking these Sinclair cars? Meant to buy a pack of them yesterday and got distracted before I could hit the buy button.

Keith,

We don't typically rerun train cars (in keeping with our focus on collectability) but it's hard to argue with the success of this Sinclair tank car. While me may not run this exact car again, maybe another Sinclair in the future? Perhaps.

Thank you,

Proper method to fill Menards tank cars...

....just kidding, of course!

WARNING: Do not attempt at home unless under supervision of a certifiable model railroading professional.

My cars arrived today in Hershey PA.

Quick delivery.

Need to pick up some Skittles I guess.

I do wonder if I will have to hide the two M&M Mars boxcars from the local PD.  😂

I also would like to see another run of the Sinclair tanker.

Somehow I missed the email and by the time I found out about it they were gone.   It is up to you but if you ran another batch of this car YOU would be making the money off of it, not eBay speculators.  I don't know about anyone else but I buy your train products becase I like them.  I would not be offended if you reran every item of yours that I have.  I have no intention of selling mine so I am not concerned about resale price. 

Just my $.02
