Hope this is okay to share here, but Menards is running a deep discount on a few of the Flat Cars with Loads...$8 a piece for each of these three
The details on the lumber loaded 'vintage' flat bed truck on a flat car says "die-cast metal wheels", but I believe I recall reading about 'plastic trucks' on Menards flat cars...does anyone know if the truck sides are plastic?
I'll be finding out for myself soon enough because I couldn't resist a couple at that price. They seem bash-able or you could build a good sized Menards themed lumber consist for not a lot of money. Menards shipping prices are always surprisingly low for 'economy' class as well.
