Menards new Union Pacific Hopper and Tank Pictures

Thanks Bob, you do many of us a service with your pics of new items.  I'll pass on the tank, but I'm ready to order the covered hopper and some of it's brothers as soon as we find out about the Shell product.

Bob, can you take another picture of the tank next to the old one?

Cabinet Bob, thanks for posting and I know I am not worthy of asking for a favor but could you post a photo with the tank on a flat car so I can get an idea if I can order a bunch of them. I was thinking of two tank cars per flat car. I have a bunch of Weaver 50' ones. Thanks Paul

Keep in mind that these hoppers have a removable top to convert them to an open hopper for coal ballast or other material. They are nearly identical to the Lionel Quad hopper, and the Williams hopper, so loads are interchangeable with some minor modifications.

Great video Bob! where did you get the UP cargo truck on the flatbed? Is that one you built? I think I will wait it out on the tanks to see if they release one like the original one.

Thanks Bob the picture helped and great video. Those UP cars are striking. The 1/48 tank is on a short flat car correct. I am trying to visualize if the new tank is S gauge or HO gauge. Comparison wise the new tank looks to be more then half the length of the 1/48 tank, that was with me taking a piece of paper marking the length and putting it up against the other on the computer screen. Do you think it is possibly S gauge. ........Paul

Sorry senior moment I missed the pic of the new tank on a flat car. I think I am going to order a few.........Paul

Here is a blurry one with tanks from the other 'M' guy for perspective.

Thanks Cabinet Bob for posting the pics. I just made the plunge. First time other then buildings.  Ordered a UP, Canada and a NH box car with 6 tanks. Should I dare to say I started my mini wall......................Paul

Again a great video Bob, you provide a real service to the rest of us with your videos and mini reviews, comparisons, etc. Some day I would love to see a longer video of your layouts! Seeing the short ones is like eating 3 peanuts and having to stop! LOL

Paul, you the man! Now don't forget the shoes! LOL I sure hope your wife's closet is smaller then Bob's wife's!
