The Canadian Line, has not been expanded, with the exception of the helicopter flat.  I would say , that we asked

for new product, this un may be the one:  Yes, Cylindrical hoppers, from the famous Canadian Grain train. Instead of 

pay out the waszoo, the the major mfgs. We may be able to add to our fleets with the Menards 4 bays.  Who knows, 

The Mth, 4 bay is the gold leaf, with red leaf on the right side 

Have to ask, do these grain hoppers ever get over the border?

I have a K-line one I perchased because I like the delivery and will sit at my grain elevator with a SOO line one being switched by my MTK switcher (from my first Lionel train set) which will be in the Midwest 1955 town. My Menard's feed and seed will sit next to it.

Now to get building the lay-out.

I see them in Manitowoc, WI regularly.  They bring barley and wheat for the Breiss malting plant.

Yes they do, though most of the ones I see are actually owned by Canadian Pacific now. I've seen many different variants, including the blue "Alberta" cars and even some of the green "Saskatchewan!" cars coming through my town in southeast Iowa. If Menards is going to start making cylindrical hoppers, they'll be a big hit!
