Just looked at the Menard's website. They have received a lot of new "O" Gauge Track. They now have 0-36 curve, 0-42 curve, 0-54 curve, 0-96 curve and 30" straight. Santa Claus better feed his reindeer some extra food.

Great News for us Tubular Guys!! Hope they will do the Rubber Roadbed like Johnsons used too!
The O-36 Tubular has arrived!
Yes!
Time to call Santa!

Very interesting, an "O" first... but will the geometry match Super "O"(and FasTrack, for that matter - 18" center rail radius) or is the 36" "over the ties" like the rest of the tubular world?
Probably, be a good idea to keep checking Menard's website for the 0-72 curve. I believe it will be showing up shortly.
I checked their website for 0-36 track and found it listed by the case of 24 pieces. I hope they will sell it by the piece like they do 10" straights and 0-31 curves. The case price is very reasonable. I just don't want that much track.
The wait is over! All sizes of our tubular track are now in stock on Menards.com!
Choose from 8 sizes including 10" and 30" straights and O-31, O-36, O-42, O-54, O-72 and O-96 curves. Purchase by the piece or in a case of 24 for a discounted rate! Here's the link for all of our tubular track offerings! Menards Tubular Track
Thank you,

Is it compatible with O-27 or regular O or neither?
Regular 0, I believe they state that on their website. Thank you Menard's for a link.
I checked the website and I can find only a price for a case of 0-36.
I have no need for track right now, but on my next layout I want at least two loops of wide curves. I think I may have to pick up a couple cases of the 96" curves, just to have them on hand for those future loops.
It's really nice to see all the different diameters offered n this NEW "O" gauge track.
When I do another layout, this is the track for me.
Thank-you Menards
Sounds good!

Would like to talk to Menards on some marketing ideas. They could do so much more on O gauge product with all the floor space they have wasted in their stores.
Well, have you contacted Mark , the Menard's Guy? I think that would be the logical person to talk to.

Mark --
Placed an order today for new track for around the Christmas Tree -- one thing does seem a little off, the case pack is 24 but the complete circle is 16 segments, so one either has to many or to few segments, might a case pack of 16 or 32 not be more logicial.
Just a thought, overall I'm extremely pleased to Menards advancing the hobby with all the O scale train product, thank you.
Mark,
If you go to the "O" Gauge train stuff from Menards page, and then click on track and accessories link, all the separate track is not shown.
I noticed that 036 curves are not available for shipping so the folks that don't have a Menards close by are out of luck for now.
I found out the track was online and searchable but it was listed in the wrong category. Now it's back in the "track & accessories" where it belongs.
Thanks for the heads up guys.

I might be looking for some 036 or 042 curves in a couple of months. Waiting for my new windows to get installed, then I will do my main part of the layout.

I wish 36" curves had been available 2 weeks ago; I'd have used them on my holiday layout. I'll still get a case after Christmas,
Guy
Thanks for the link, it came in fine this time. Maybe it didn't load completely on my iPad. Placed an order for 8 pieces to be used on an elevated line for my layout. Again their case pricing is excellent if you need a lot of track. A big thank you, Menards!
Good Day Mark the Menards Train Guy,
Congratulations on the new track presentation. I will be purchasing some 096 curves and 30" straights in the near future.
On a side note, I'm looking forward to your next rolling stock offering. I need to build a grain train!
Regards,
Frank

No not sure how to talk to him. Maybe he could PM me or something. Some in store display with their products would be easy and bring in the people,,,,,,,,,,and not need much space.
KRM,
I don't have much say in how the stores are arranged. If you want to write in to Guest Services (guest@menard-inc.com), those would be the people to talk to.
Thanks!
Mark the Menards Train Guy
Thanks for the address Mark! Just thinking that some sort of display with the products you sell would be something nice and draw interest to the products. I bought the Hobby shop only after seeing it lit up in one store after looking at it many times in another store not lit up.
Can you guys that have this track please let us know if Lionel track clips will work with it? I'm really tempted to replace my fastrack Christmas floor loop.
