Low Inventory Items at Menards! (Updated 04/17/17)

Mark, thanks for the update! Is there any way in the future when you could offer the sign pack for this engine house as a separate item? I already have the Milwaukee Road house and the CNW house! The signs would be useful to change roads depending on what I'm running! Just a thought!

Mark,

I suggest also using this thread for items that are sold out and come back in stock.

Fingers are crossed for more Santa Fe warbonnet boxcars back in stock! Lol

play trains,

MILW and CNW sheds have different electronics than the 30-sign shed so it might be a problem. I do like the idea of offering more road names though!

We have this engine shed on our seasonal community layout. It always gets compliments.

Mark - I got a Menard's Model Number: 2793051Menards^® SKU: 2793051for Christmas and the lights don't fully work.  Harvey Hotwatts and the sign will not light properly nor change patterns.  My wife is now calling the store she special ordered from it from and they are looking into it to find another from another location, if possible.  Is there any hope?  Is this a common problem with this unit? Thanks for all you do for this hobby.  We appreciate it.

On The Fly,

One way or another, we will make sure to get you a model that works correctly. If the store is unable to assist you, we would be happy to help if you email Guest@menard-inc.com.

When are the Union Pacific weathered boxcars going to be available through the website? Since I live in New Jersey, we do not have any Menard's here. Really want to order the 4 pack of those.

Thanks.

Any teasers for the next promotion?

Mark the Menard's guy, 

Can you check onto these and let me know? I am unable to buy these locally and only through your website.

Hi Ted,

Unfortunately, we do not plan to reissue the Union Pacific weathered boxcar at this time. We do however, have some available at our stores. If you would like to order one, I found the highest quantity remaining at our Freeport, IL store.

All you have to do is give the store a call and let them know that you are looking to purchase the SKU# 279-2620 Weathered Union Pacific Boxcar and how many you would like to order. If they are unsure what you are referring to, mention to them that they can search the sku on Menards.com for reference.

To order, you will complete a quick credit card transaction and they will send the item directly to your home. Let me know if you have any questions or if they are out of inventory. I can provide you with another store to contact.

Mark, thanks for the availability update reports. I know it is Monday the day after New Years and everyone is most likely partied out but how about a nice teaser to start off the New Year right..........Paul

Paul and Roving Sign - Here's your teaser!

Mark - I took your advice and I sent an email to the email address you gave a couple of days ago and have not heard back from anybody at that web address to acknowledge.   Not a big deal, but I thought you should know.

I wish you had a Rock Island sign available for the Engine house. That would tip the scales for me.

You guys that wish the engine house had a railroad sing you wanted. Why not make one your self and change it.

You can go online and find a million posters, ads, logos, etc.  You can download them, shrink them, print them and put them where you want.  This is what I did for poster ads on my subway station.

Mark - thanks for what you do.  BTW - I followed your advice and sent an email some weeks ago to the email you suggested and I never heard back from anyone.  I tried several times.  I don't want to use the forum for things like this, but please advise if the email link you suggested doesn't work for some reason.  My email is in my profile.  Thanks!

On the Fly,

I wasn't able to find your email in your profile. Perhaps that information is hidden?

I appreciate your patience and I will follow up with Customer Service.

Hi Mark,

I would happily phone order the now "unavailable online" Santa Fe box car Model Number: 2793830, but I am having trouble finding a store who still has one.  Can you help me find a store?

Thanks,BwanaBob

Hi BwanaBob,

To my knowledge, the Santa Fe boxcar (279-3830) is completely sold out.

Unfortunately once an item sells out, our computer system automatically defaults to "Sold in Stores". It is misleading at times and I apologize for the confusion.

We try to further specify product availability by noting "Sold Out" or "Sold Out Online" within the product picture. "Sold Out" denotes an item that is completely sold out, where as "Sold Out Online"  refers to an item that may be available at one of our retail locations.

We are trying to update a few things, but for now, this is what we are working with.

Thanks for asking!
Mark the Menards Train Guy

Thanks for the update, Mark.  I will echo the sentiments of others when I say I hope there will be another run of both the Santa Fe box car and hopper since I was late to the dance both times.
