TBD: New Stuff Coming from Menards!

Release #2 is a fire station with a helicopter on the roof and fire engines with animated flashing lights.

1:48 cars and trucks that have not been made.

Freight house. Now what do I win? Don

My money is on the fire house

Fire House

Release #1: More freight cars.  Maybe even weathered?

Release #2: A new building.  Maybe even a background flat?

Am I getting good at this guessing stuff, or what?  

The good stuff keeps rolling out, More winners. New road names for maybe a new frieght car...........Paul 2

My guess is that it’s “something something something with something featuring Jack the German shepherd“.

1,Rolling stock. 
2,Fire station 

Looks like a possible 40's to 50's era fire station.

More boxcars, would like to see a SP&S logo one of these days.

I’m gonna go new boxcar paint jobs on the first and a firehouse on the second. 

Would love to see Menards put out some 2 bay coal hoppers. Seems like it would fit the business model, several road names and high volumes. I believe hobbyists would buy these in large numbers for coal drags. I’d take a few dozen at least! 

If you buy a train item, such as a car or building, in the store. You, at the same time, get 11% off all other items used in the hobby that Menards normally stocks. Items such as roofing granules, hobby wood, kitty liter etc. 

In order to claim your 11%, you have to post on OGR what you bought and how you used it.

Yea way too complicated.

#2 Is printable building flats 

Waiting until the return of the “free” stuff offers to place my first order.  Their current rebate program for online purchases can only be redeemed in a retail store.   The nearest Menards’ is a 16 hour drive from Washington State to Casper Wyoming.  At least that’s how I read the policy, if I’m wrong let me know!

A train station with Jack waiting for the next train to arrive.

I would love to see this too.  But, unless there are already some molds available from some other long gone manufacturer, it'll never happen, I'm afraid. 

Obviously the large picture is the brick wall against which we will collectively bang our heads trying to figure out what’s coming next... but anything D&H is promising   

Engine or Maintenance building, but that brick wall look has so much potential especially if offered as a flat or semi-flat; thinking old style gymnasium, school or armory.

Is this printed paper or is it plastic with relief in it?

Here's a video hint!

Those old weaver molds have to be out there somewhere. They had a few different styles. We can hope!

If those fire trucks are 1/48, I would be quite interested!

Video hint is cool. Wonder if there is sound. I think this will be good with a push button "on" arrangement.

Finally the fire house! When I saw just the bricks in the first clue I thought maybe they bought the MTH warehouse! LOL

Glad to see TP&W!

Personally I am hoping for non weathered.

I would love for the rolling stock to have TP&W's former mascot Tee Pee Willie on it but I know that is asking for a lot in the "P.C." era we find ourselves in.

Here he is on a boxcar:

Glad to see this, would love to see GM&O, ICG, MoPac & WM and always enjoy Chessie,Santa Fe & Southern.  The Southern WAVE or MoPac HERBIE cars would be big sellers, as would your Southern boxcar if you filled in the O with green like southern did.

I know you don't need my help  

B&M Hoppers..............

Thank you,

Let's see how many posts it takes before somebody complains about the 11% rebate or the car style or something ..... again.

yep, gonna buy the D&H boxcar...... maybe two...... cool

LOL I agree with you Mustang. I think we were born with those genes to complain LOL. Maybe it can be traced back to the old Lionel days when they complained about not enough rivets on a new tender Lionel came out with so JLC set up a position of a rivet counter LOL. PRR Steam, mixed freight posted about tooling floating around. The Weaver molds are already being used by Lionel for their Lionscale line. Maybe there might be some old KLINE tooling around.....Paul 2

These are all good.

What happened to the "TIDE " car?  Did I miss it?

Brent

I certainly don’t need or have any room for anymore rolling stock but B&M blue is hard to resist.   The fire engines I would replace with with a couple of different ones but the fire house looks very cool so far! 

Ordered a four pack of B & M.

What?!?! There's no D&H Challenger?

I needed them to go with my motive power.😁

Will order the TP&W even though it doesn't have Tee Pee Willie on it.  It is still a very cool car!

Oh BTW a Tide car (tankers and or boxcars would be great) would look amazing!

Work the P&G moon and stars in to it if you can.

Always room for a few more Menards cars!

B&M, CP, and TP&W ordered.

Any  idea about our second clue? It's not like I am

anxious or anything, but my mouse is on the Menards

order button.
