Menards Rolling Stock

I doubt that there is a collectable market for Menard's Chinese manufactured rolling stock. I would guess that it is worth less than the original shelf price. Put it on the bay and see if you can make anything on it.

Thanks Bill,

Only reason i thought there might be any chance of any type of value is that this a car has a Lionel stock number and that it is a limited run. Im going to a few regional collectible shoppes and see what they say ,

Thanks again for your input greatly appreciated.

Bill T, this unit was one of the earlier ones.... made nonetheless in China, but by/for  Lionel.   It bears little resemblence to the very low-end stuff Menards has released in the last 2-3 years... with crummy couplers, hot-glue assembly, and "sticker" graphics.   Fastrack Tim, you may indeed have something of value (to someone) as it was made for Menards by Lionel.   (BTW, Tim... the year of release will be stamped on each side of the flatcar.) 

Are you positive that the trailer was made by Lionel, it is entirely different than the typical Lionel trailer that came on Lionel flatcars..

Bill T,

You are correct the year was 2009. I have seen Lionel Flatcar with their

trailers on board. I has also have looked on the duplicate of the car in question for any identifying marks and have come up empty, my next step would be to disassemble the other car, and to be honest its rolling smoothly couplers are working great I think ill leave it alone...because if it aint broke dont fix it!
