How many different "O" Gauge box cars has Menards made?. At the present time, are they being produced with plastic or die cast trucks?

Don't know how many types they've made in the past (but I wouldn't be surprised if not a few hundred different schemes, at least). Based on what's currently available on their website, looks like they are still using the metal trucks on the box cars.
Just ask @cabinet Bob to check his inventory.
John H,
I was hoping Cabinet Bob would see my post and just respond.

Die cast trucks on the boxcars & single dome tank cars, Jim. Plastic trucks on gondolas & "modern" tankers. (Lifesaver modern tank car has metal trucks... but it is sold out). Check the descriptions under "Train stuff" at www.menards.com
What would really be nice, if someone had pictures of all of them. I know I would enjoy seeing them and I think a lot of the forum readers would enjoy seeing
them too.
