Scale gondola. Lots of options for loads.

A depressed flat with part of the boiler, wheels, railroad ties, and all weathered. :0

I would like to see a refrigerator car with eight roof hatches.
I'd like to see some scale high capacity tank cars! I'd jump on a couple or cases of these in a heartbeat!

Do a type that hasn't been done in O, such as a Thrall or a Greenville style.
Vat car open and closed.
2nd hoppers for a grain train.
also how bout some scale boxcars?
I want steam era cars......a single dome tankcar, and two bay hopper, but they'd have to design some earlier trucks for them, so I am not holding my breath.
Have they done cabooses?!!!
Always a fan of black tank cars....the more the merrier.
I second a SCALE, steam era stock car.
Has ANYBODY, excepting O scale brass (and, of course, HO galore) ever done a plain black, GATX or UTLX single dome pre-WWII tank car? No Lionel, MTH, Weaver, Williams, K-Line, Crown, Kusan, nobody?
I love to see more of the scale flat cars with more scale loads/ military, commercial,
And please go find some scale molds of other cars/ boxcars, reefers, hoppers, and of coarse a scale 8000.single dome tank cars.
Tanks alot.

Weaver made those cars, I wonder who bought them, and if they are available.
I'd like to see some reefers. With their prices it would be affordable to have a long string of PFE reefers for our Big Boys, Cab Forwards, etc.
Make some circus stuff like K-Line use to do. I would buy it. RB&BB would be nice

Lionel has those dies, but I don't know if they'll offer the hoppers again, unless they decide to offer a cheaper scale line as Atlas does with their Trainman line.
Dear Santa, I would like some CNW boxcars, covered hoppers, any road tofc's, some NS rolling stock, any kind and cabooses,starting with a military version! Thank you Santa for the many Alaska offerings and the nose art boxcars!
A Herman's sauerkraut vat car.
BTW Does anyone know who owns the K-Line molds?
Any thing scale WWII.

Scale size 36 ft wood reefers......endless possibilities!! Usable for the scale guys....small enough for the traditional guys. Same for early steel 2 bay hoppers......36ft MANY roadnames possible. I'll buy a ton of them!!!
Well, Atlas has made some 36' reefers, BUT they are not in the Menard's price range
.

Opps, well maybe Lionel would sell them to other manufacturers and importers such as,,hhhmmmmm lets see...maybe....Menards!
Just a thought

I should have stated a Rail King level detail, simplified, with Menards price. The Atlas are great, have 2, but a fleet??? Can't do it.
Don't think this one's been mentioned yet. How about some baby madison passenger cars? I know fright tends to be more popular with folks, but it would be a nice addition to the line up.
Thank you, for all your great ideas. I'm sure Menard's will see this post. Hopefully, they make a lot of your suggestions.
40ish single dome black tank cars

I second that!
I would also like Intermodal cars with containers. (Union Pacific and BNSF)

50ft hi-cube boxcars
I'd love to be able to put together a long, steam-headed log train w/ 40 ' skeleton log cars fully loaded (not "shorty " log cars) but at current market prices for existing product I just can't raise the investment capital. Perhaps Menards would come up with something for the traditional operator in this railcar. Even if they were "scale" size, I could use several, and perhaps there are a few scale operators who could use them also. $50 to $60 dollars a pop for currently available items is a deal breaker for a few of us, but with Menards history of pricing, perhaps skeleton log cars could become more affordable.

Jim,
1st let me say this, for the price we are paying for the fantastic WWII Commemorative Box Cars Menard's is doing a great job with the Box Cars they are now offering. The new Coper and Military Vehicle Flat Cars are now serious stuff also. IMO Menard's could offer a Premier Box Car line, for just a few dollars more, with the Atlas type Premier detailing, it would be great. In my case I would love to have the original 2 tone Wood Side, Wellsville, Addison & Galeton Box Cars offered by Menard's. I would purchase 6 different numbered box car in a minute. Where do I order?

hello Jim, hope you are doing well. Miss seeing you at your former train shop.
A couple of years ago you sent me a list of "do wop" songs; if you still have it , please resend.
Thank you

The American Car & Foundry ACF Center Flow 4600 Cubic Foot Capacity 3-bay covered hoppers, because they were very common between 1965 and 2005, plus many of them are still in service today.
Union Pacific, Chicago & North Western, Soo Line, Santa Fe, Burlington Northern, BNSF are railroad schemes that can be seen on them now.
It can be made in full O scale with molded on details to be reasonably priced.

Something "Friendly": SP, SSW, PE, TNO. Ok, PFE is half Friendly. 50:50 SP/UP split.
Would love to see more military cars such as sleeper, kitchen and hospital cars.
