For those of you thinking about ordering the latest engine shed offering from Menards what other roads would you like to see? This is what is currently available. I would like to see a B&M decal.

What bothers me, and also bothered me on the first issue, is that the Milwaukee Road sign is incorrect. The sign should be "canted to the left" so that the word "Milwaukee" is horizontal. Couldn't get Menards to change that so I don't have one of those nice engine houses on my all Milwaukee Road layout.
From what I can tell, all the other railroads are correct.

Norfolk Southern, Amtrak, Southern Pacific
No chessie BOOOO!!
Nickel Plate Road
Pere Marquette, C&O, DT&I and Detroit & Mackinaw.
See they have GB&W but the building is too big for my layout.
B&M
Conrail
We have at least one advertiser on here (don't see it flip through in the heading) that does creative and original decals....sounds like somebody like him could gin up custom signs to fill the square. There ARE duplications, of early (steam) and late (diesel) logos, but customization would fix the problem. There is no Grande, Burlington, Rock
Island, C&S, etc.
Print your own on photo paper.
P&WV, See my signature for a picture of said fallen flag.
Delaware and Hudson, New Haven and Penn Central.
Oh heck Menards Mark, just create labels for every US major, short-line, obscure, railroad from 1700's to present. That ought to satisfy everyone.

There ya go! Good idea Sam! 
Can I buy the sheet for my Menards Milwaukee Road engine house I bought earlier?

Big Chet,
We don't sell the decal sheets but themselves at this time, sorry!
I would also be a little concerned because the multi-sign shed is back lit so that the decals light up with light passes through them. The Milwaukee Road sign is self contained. You would have to install some sort of light source in order for the decals to work.

I too ,would like to see Seaboard and ACL! But I really like the idea of a kit with ,let's say 4 blank panels and sheets with as many road names and fallen flags as possible, as others have suggested! I really think it would be a huge seller! The possibilities for use are endless!
Seaboard, FEC, ACL, Southern, CSX
I think this is useful feed back for Menards and might stimulate more sales in this shed if people have more options for there favorite road name. I'm waiting on mine to arrive. Hopefully tomorrow.
Amtrak and Delaware & Hudson would open my check book.
How about CB&Q in addition to the BN sign.
My wife is Sue, so the SusieQ is good; my brother is prrbill and I see we've got 2 of them, and lawyer's sue, so the SOO is important.
Has Ben chimed in yet? Doesn't he have a favorite?

So Mark, for those of us wanting one of these but in a different road name, is a seperate sale sheet something we might see in the future?
I'm pretty much ready to buy one and make my own decal for it (I almost bought the Milwaukee Road version, though I don't model it), but I'm concerned a homemade deal isn't gonna work with the backlit sign. But I REALLY want one!
I sorta like the "Place Sign Here" sign.
