I've always wanted one of those.

Army ambulance on a flat car?

Now that is just mean 

lets hope it looks cool!

I know. It's an o gauge swiss army knife. sorry, I was wrong, the colors are reversed.

Maybe, Menard's painted their Quonset Hut white and placed a large Red Cross on the roof.

Here's another sneak peek of tomorrow's O gauge release!

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

I bet it is a tank car!

Ok I give up. Need a Menards in New England, specifically New Hampshire !

Hey Mark---I was at Menards buying ogauge and also ordered a bunch of flats with a bunch of FREE trees added----now your coming out with something---?--your just too cruel (love it thou), while I was there I asked the staff if Mr Menards is behind the o-gauge movement and they said he collects trains and does he have a train display set up for viewing? If not perhpas he would have one in the future?

Somebody on here knows what the code "1993" and "3" mean on the placard.  How about a translation? (probably not "tomato soup")

I think 1993 and the small 3 means diesel fuel.

The "3" is the HAZMAT class = Flammable Liquids

Tankcar are here!!!!

I agree also, It is a tank car.

Can't wait !

Darn!! You guys are probably right about it being a tank car! At first I was hoping a hospital building! Lol

Red bottom placard is Flammable Liquid. Combustible Liquid has a white lower triangle. Usually diesel fuel.

Here is the Hazardous material list from CFR 49 you can look up any material and find what placard and other information about shipping. Scroll down a few pages to see list. Very long.

Hey Mark, I bought the Hobby Shop building and plugged it in and after a bit I noticed the Menards Hobby Shop sign wasn't flashing like it did from the start. Confirmed this with a youtube video. It was the last one at my Menards store. Since theyre limited will they find me another or should I just hold onto it?

You guys are all wet with your guesses

I have it on good hutch that the cars will be flat cars, and each car will be carrying three (3) vats.  

Each vat will be filled to the brim with specialChristmas edition blend of 25 Year old Kentucky Sour Mash in celebration of the holidays.

I can't believe no one picked up on this.

Sounds to me as if somebody may be sampling the Special Edition blend of 25 yr.old Kentucky sour mash slightly ahead of the holidays! Just sayin!!!

CanAm,

The lighting pattern resets to a steady-on if the power is shut off and turned back on. Is that what you are experiencing?

A tank farm and loading facility, as hoped for above, would be interesting....and, I am guessing, would have those placards about....

So, when are we going to find out????

Bob from the "other magazine" had two samples of the new cars he couldn't show yet (even the shipping box was pixelated out,)  but said they're not flat cars or box cars.

Website doesn't list it yet.

Just saw them, a military tanker on a flat car and military Mack truck flat car and a listing for military field hospital but no picture of that!

Thanks for replying Mark. No, when in the flashing mode the Hobby Shop lit brightly then the Menards lit brightly with it, and thats what a youtube video shows but mine now barely lights the HobbyShop but then when the Menards lights brightly the Hobby Shop is bright. Just hopin it doesn't give out completely the longer I keep it.
