(12/07/16) New Military Flatcars with Loads from Menards!

Ok, sorry I was wrong BOb. But now I have to get approval from momma. hard to pass up such a deal!

Ordered 

These look great - add another order!

Dang... hmmmm... might get them.  I was hoping for an army caboose.

Hey Matt, I bet if you asked really nice, and maybe some cash Cabinet Bob would make you one! LOL That's if he is not busy building something else. He seams to be able to build anything he wants!

Quick, somebody call the hospital and tell them they can release Bob! The new Menards stuff is here! LOL

The Mental ward?

Yes, the poor man suffers from MOCD,Menards Obsessive Compulsive Disorder! He should be okay now, for a week or so anyway! LOL

Thanks guys 

Its that we care about you bob!

We really do Bob, somebody besides Menards has to!

Well, I was close to one, but I really was hoping for a caboose.

Uhhhhh!

AHHHH! Mines ordered,  I needed the Commemorative Military Boxcar anyway.

If they keep making this military stuff I'll stay in the game for sure.  At least it's not a hundred bucks a car. lol

Ok Mike, Your turn. Tell her HO hO hO, It's Christmas.

Sometimes that works.

Semper Fi !

Thanks Larry, Just waiting on a few things big guy! Anyone know how long the 4 car pack last with the 11% rebate?

Mark, anybody, do we know what size these trucks are? they look like the same scale as the Pepsi trucks! Am I correct? love them by the way!

play trains,

That is a great question! The truck measures about 6" long (excluding the hitch) by 1-5/8" wide. The cab is about 1-7/8" from the ground (excluding the piping).

I hope that helps!

A German WW2 88 on a modern truck is a bit of a stretch even for three rail.  I am sure there is calling for them.  I wish them well.

I passed on these as they are too modern. WWII Vintage, my wallet would have opened.

I agree, would also like to see more WWII vintage equipment for loads on flats.  Perhaps even as a second, separate, line of cars to appeal to those looking for more detail, a different time frame.........      The tarp covered load may be more of use to some, not designated as a particular period.

The vehicles remind me of a communist May Day parade in Moscow/Peking. American inspired loads would be nice as others have stated above, but for the price, those who decide to purchase will be happy.

Mark, another great addition to the weekly rollouts. Keep them coming...........Paul

Well, the gun is WWII, if you don't mind the fact that it's German

Reminds me of some of the old Marx military sets.

Look great, Menards!!
