Most MENARDS locations are in the Central states. Minneapolis & St. Louis and Chicago Great Western would be an appropriate railroads for open and covered hoppers.
It's like groundhogs day!!!
The post repeated. That should not be possible. It looks like a Software error.
The ROCK ISLAND 1970 to 1975 red and yellow locomotive scheme on the covered hopper would be attention grabbing.

Looks great! I'm sure they will do these at some point. I always assumed it's a licensing issue with NS. There's probably a lot of red tape to get something manufactured with their name on it.
I will get back to this thread as soon as possible guys. I've come down with a nasty bug and I've been in the hospital.

Mark, sometime back I suggested that Menards make these coal hoppers like the samples PANTHER97 has presented to you. These are perfect and I got to believe these would be a top seller. I have a Railking SD70 that a string of 12 or 14 would look behind. I would also like to be able to put a EDT light on one of the cars. Hope to see these in both colors in the future. The CSX ones you recently came out with are perfect.
Wow, there are some great suggestions here. I would definitely been in the market for some of these. Wabash, NS, NPR
