(03/25/20) O Scale Background Building from Menards!

A new freight station? That would be nice....

^^^

I'm with Gilly on this one.  Or it may be a REA box truck

Could be another freight building like the Schneider National they released.

A REA cross dock would be a no brainer.

I am with Tom. Hope it is a REA Depot.... Paul 2

Am I the only one who wants to see a new O Gauge release that's actually a railway car of some sort (or an existing car with a new (to Menards) roadname, and not another building ?

REA depot would be great.  BTW never too much military stuff on flats.

A true scale head-end reefer would be very nice.

I'm gonna guess an REA caboose.

Since Menard's has already put out some very cool REA trucks I believe we can expect a freight transfer facility, not so much a track side freight station.

I’m hoping for a freight depot to match the REA panel trucks.

Speaking on trucks, I am hoping Menards can produce Divco Milk Trucks in O Scale. They are difficult to find.

@Menards, any other clues?

Has Menards ever done a full scale car ?

Here's your second hint!

Thank you,

Dang....

My best guess, an REA something! LOL

A Charmin Factory!

Mark, you should edit the thread's title to include the date of your second clue so we'll know there is something new in your thread--just a suggestion.

The only Divcos that I have seen are way too big at 1/43 and the Divco brand is now owned by the Divco Club of America. 

I’m hoping it’s a REA freight depot with an animated agent.

That would be cool and seems like a decent guess given the hints thus far.

They have HO Divco trucks for sale, just hoping they can source some 1:48. I know 1:43 is a little big, but my dairy needs some delivery vans!

I'm in for 1:48 with you Keith.

Keith, please don't take offense, but do you know how to edit when using "reply with quote"?

For clues I haven't a clue as to what is coming. But as always the suspense is killing me. And Dad is always tight lipped as to what is could be.But looking at some of the posts a Dairy with a fleet of milk trucks would be a nice addition...........Paul 2

Although I didn't know REA had any now that we have a conductor I second the caboose mentioned earlier.

mask....

Passenger trains have a conductor and also REA front end boxcars & reefers.

Regardless of what it is, now is a great time for new announcements! Too much of a panic out there.

There will be a new version and an old version of the structure or freight car.

Here's your last clue. Look for the new release in the next few days.

Thank you,

A REA Warehouse building flat? That would be great!!

Building flat? What a great idea! Menards can throw me in that briar patch,

Blazing Saddles town of Rock Ridge?

Sign me up! I love Blazing Saddles!!!

At first I thought Menards might offer REA FREE SHIPPING and/or drop their order handling fee; which would be a nice promotion.  With the most recent clue I now think it's going to be a Railway Express building flat for all of us who filled up much of our layouts w/ various space hungry Menards buildings.  Menards has been sneaky clever w/ their track pass-through building features that provide some flexibility but flats or semi-flats might appeal to a very broad audience and can go a long way to scenic a layout. 

nice prop

For two dimensional people

A building for Flat Stanley?

This could be an animated building where the walls fall over or flip around when a button is pushed.
