2021.12.09 Free Box Truck + Engine copy

Our engineers have worked hard on improving our beta engine, based upon your feedback. In the time frame they were given they were able to produce 200 beta 2.0 units! And yes, we updated the description to F7!

Again, feedback is greatly appreciated. We'd like to know what you think! Please email Guest@menard-inc.com.

Since these are for testing purposes, please limit your purchase to one engine per person.

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

SeptaTony, they may still have some; they are limiting the purchase to only one per person.  Maybe log out of the page, and they may still list having some?

No such luck. Incredible. I got the email notification at 2:30PM that they were fro sale. By 3:20PM they were gone. I really hope it wasn't scalpers or people buying multiples.

Got mine, surprised to have the chance to purchase one. Also had to delete the truck. Can’t wait to see the improvement.  My first train was a similar Santa Fe in H0 Now I only by Lionel and have been thinking about buying one. Recently started purchasing some Menards buildings and lighted trucks so thought I get an engine.

I was lucky enough to get on about 11 minutes after they opened orders. It's going to be a gift to my Dad for Christmas, but I was wondering, do I just use this with the transformer/power pack on low like a regular Lionel locomotive? I read the thread on the first unit (1.0), and it seemed like everyone got wildly different results. Any idea what he will need to do? I grew up playing with postwar Lionel and still have the transformer in storage, but I don't want to fry this loco.
