I been collecting Menards rolling stock for a while and was wondering what was their first releases were. I know the early ones that I have were made by Lionel separately and in sets. Maybe Mark can give some history of their releases.

Here some photos of my early ones.

I think Mark the Menards Train guy just answered this yesterday under another thread:

Or are you asking about the history of the "Made by Menards cars" only?

Anyway, here's his response from the other thread:


Our first train cars (not counting sets) were made by Lionel and sold exclusively at our stores.

2007 - Paul Menard #11 Pittsburgh Paints Racecar on "Menards" flatcar
2008 - Paul Menard #15 Johns Manville Racecar on "Menards" flatcar
2009 - Paul Menard #98 Johns Manville Race Hauler on "Lionel" flatcar

Following these train cars, we started making our own and the selection expanded exponentially from there.
