5 OF THE NEWEST MENARDS HOPPER AND FLATCAR PICTURES

Cabinet Bob,

Thank you for taking the time to post these pictures of Menard's newest products. All five freight cars look great.

Those Alaska cars are sharp. A road name that's mostly foreign to me and I don't own any Alaska trains. Almost tempted to pick up some hoppers. Then I'd have to find some suitable Alaska motive power!

The flatcars reels even turn. The wire looks like and feels like wire. The workmanship on this flat  is wonderful.. my own opinion.  Bob

I see they offer the Alaska hoppers in an 8 car set but not the Great Northern or the CNW. Hope that changes!

I just looked at there website, you can now buy them in an 8 pack ..Bob

Thanks Bob, for checking, I hoped they would! My faith in Menards is justified once again

I was at the Worlds Greatest Hobby On Tour in St. Paul MN. this weekend.. Menards was the talk of the show !!

Just wondering about the new hoppers................are the car numbers painted on or decals?

Regards,

Swafford

Are these cars full 1:48 scale size, as they appear to be?

Thank you,

Ralph
