Your Menards CNW or BNSF caboose.... What color are the flashing lights?

I would call Menard's and ask them to replace it. However, if all of them were produced with orange lights instead of red, you will have to decide if you want to keep it or not. 

I looked on Menard's website to order a caboose and they didn't have any.

Denny M,

I just checked. The cabooses are on their website. They are in with the tank cars. Here is a link.

Matt,

I was wondering, what did you do about your caboose?

I'm going to hang onto it... The fact the lights aren't red doesn't bother me.  I'm just wondering why they aren't red as described on Menards website and if anybody else's lights are orange.

Well,I  looked at mine.if you look directly  at the end it is red !! But off to the side it does look orange .At the price of the caboose,who cares.

 It's still looks GREAT !!

Mine looks like Bob describes.  Looking straight on, they are definitely red.  Looking from an angle they do appear a bit orange-ish

The way I look at this is, if you folks are happy, that's all that matters.

Thanks Jim.

I just ordered the CNW caboose. I had it sent to the Menard's here in town because they don't charge shipping when you do that.

Hi all,

I ordered the the Menards CNW caboose and was surprised to see the flashers lighting up as orange instead of red as it says in the description on their website.  I'm not disappointed or anything.... Just was wondering if anybody on here actually got red flashers out there instead of orange.

I just looked at the description and it says the LED marker lights are reddish-orange.

I was hoping a new caboose was going to be released today

Update to my original post:

I received my BNSF caboose today. The flashers are definitely red compared to the orange ones that came with my CNW caboose.  I like the fact they are both different!  

Keep the cabooses coming Menards!  Especially an Army one... Soon..... Please... NOW!  Lol!

My CNW caboose came in and I picked it up at Menard's. Well, it's a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. It's about the size of my old PW caboose. I like it, but I was a little disappointed with the size. I thought it would be the same size my box cars are from Menard's.
