Menards Model Number 2790861 C&NW flatcar with Chicago EMS Van

 

The ambulance/EMS van is also available separately WITH WORKING LIGHTS operated from a battery from Menards.  See 2790862.

 

I noticed a set that included this EMS van but no mention was made about lighting.

 

From Menards Ad:

 

This O gauge flatcar features improved couplers and trucks with metal wheels. Riding on this Chicago Northwestern flatcar is an authentically decorated Chicago Fire Department Ambulance with die-cast cab. This ambulance has working headlights and emergency lights that are lit using track electricity and pickups built into the flatcar. These pickups allow for constant lighting so that the ambulance lighting will not flicker while traveling around your track. This flatcar with ambulance is sure to be a beautiful addition to your train collection!

 

  • Pickups use track power to operate headlights and emergency lights
  • Constant lighting - Lights won't flicker!
  • Improved couplers and trucks with die-cast wheels
  • Uniquely numbered - No two are alike!
  • Navigates O-27 curves

The 2790862 Chicago ambulance and 2793106 Menards contractor van were also ordered separately from Menards for home delivery.

 

The order confirmation was just received from Menards.

The graphics on the Chicago & North Western flat car are from the 1950's.

 

The C&NW painted their flat cars oxide or brown in the 1950's and 1960's.

 

The C&NW open-top hoppers and gondolas were painted black back then. 

 

It seems to be a strange compromise combination.

 

I would have expected a 1980's or 1990's era graphics and colors.
