New! Santa Fe Flatcar with Santa Fe Trailways Bus from Menards!

Hey.. Paul 2, T Shearer, PlayTrains, and Mike G., I'll buy the bus and we will go to meetings together.. How does this sound?

Nice Looking flatcar, but the bus is a little old for me!

Cool! Can't wait for more paint schemes to be released for the bus.

Bob, you driving the bus is not good! At the meetings they say to stay away from you! I think the nuns in school were thinking of you when they talked of "near occasions of sin"! LOL

Seems to me that the bus alone is worth the price of admission. Too bad the "bonus" ambulance is not of a similar vintage!

If anyone buys it just for the bus let me know! LOL

I can see it now....A bus station... next to the new Menards brewery  !!!!!!

LOL When they bring out the BREWERY I will buy a hand full of buses for all the beer tasters to get home in!

Very cool!

Menards:

"James in VA" is right - the two era's don't match, so I couldn't use the ambulance on my layout.

Any way to just bypass the ambulance during ordering and just get the 9-pack of trees ?

Probably not Richie! Between Bob and I and several others, I think we cornered all the trees! Especially Bob, he has them in his salads! LOL

Hah - guess I'll have to "settle" for the ambulance and give it to my grandson to play with !

Cabinet Mark can sent the ones that Grandpa is cutting down to keep from blocking his view.

Your the first one to catch that !!! Poor grandpa....

Its all good as long as GRANDMA doesn't catch on! LOL

Is that supposed to be a miniature bus, or is the flatcar oversized?

What, me worry? 

Mike G, check out Department 56's new boxed sets! One is a pretty neat brewery! Has a small footprint, lots of detail! Figures won't work, but building could. They may offer just the building without the set! I'm looking at the church for my Christmas layout!

WOW!!!  Great looking bus but too small for O gauge, more like S Gauge.  Nevertheless, we need more vehicles from this era.  I bet you Santa Fe guys are jumping for joy.  At least we now have a bus for the up coming BREWERY tours.

I would prefer that the bus have complete window sections vs the motor home type style with windows absent.  Sharp looking car and bus anyway.  Not sure about licensing but maybe a Johnny Cash bus or some music group's bus?  

I have the Army version of this car.  Sure, the bus is out of scale, but it really has grown on me after seeing it run around the layout.  This Santa Fe version looks really snazzy and will look even better with the warbonnet themed double panel truck flatcar, hopper and boxcar.

Attention Menards:  Make a Warbonnet Santa Fe caboose please!  It's silly to have all of these cars and no matching caboose!

Hi Garfield,

I was told that this was just temporary. You should be able to buy the case later this afternoon or this evening at the latest.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
