Dang that Menards set looks nice! Now to convince my parents… 😅
Menards needs to kick it in gear and either bring out a K Line pacific or some passenger cars, they're getting closer and closer to that point lol
Awesome lineup of new items. Thank You for producing this every week. I look forward to it!🙏👍🔥💪❤️🇺🇸
Glad you like them!
Very nice. I really like that Coney Island billboard. The hoppers are near, too. An excellent video,as always.
Thanks 👍
The Menard's tank set is interesting. I have the AA ATSF locos already. If they did the ATSF in Freight blue I may need them! thx
That would be nice.
@@davevan8864 they’ll mess up the paint/lettering up like they do with all their other locos. The tank cars look great though. 5 minutes of prototype research would work wonders with their product line.
For some reason there's some other O scale sets from Menards that are in store but not online it's CNW or Milwaukee FP7 a hopper and a gondola an oval of track and remote
I have seen photos of these, but they are not in all stores and not online. It seems that some locations have stocked them ahead of their official release.
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks ok
I want the Tulsa Tank Train 😁👍
Coney Island sign will look great next to my bus terminal.
The Tulsa tank set is nice but i am wondering if menards is hinting on future freight sets
I have heard rumors of other Menards sets for this season, but nothing official has yet been announced.
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTricksin store they have a cnw and Milwaukee road freight set with a 36” x 54” loop of track. They aren’t online to the best of my knowledge. I bought both today since I was already there to buy the new buildings!
@@stegchegnpeg3050 See the community post. All stores have not received them yet as they have not "officially" been released yet.
Cool stuff! Thanks Mike!
Thanks for watching!
Random idea for people who want to do 3 foot narrow gauge in O scale. I’ve been converting some shorter O-27 freight cars to have American Flyer S gauge trucks, it’s a very effective look, and fairly cheap. I have a guy fairly local to me who sells old AF stock at $5 a car and it’s roughly $10 for smaller O-27 cars, so it’s just $15 minimum for materials and all that’s left is to swap the trucks. Unfortunately though, locomotives may have to be scratch built.
You NEED to check out the Industrial Rail "O Gauge" cabooses and covered hopper cars. They look darned close to S Scale.
@@johnblair8146 are you talking about the extreme budget Atlas, or is it still its own brand, but I understand the size
@@ChristopherDennie-tc5jt before Atlas took over. The IR line included a Santa Fe style caboose and a covered hopper car similar to Lionel’s that were close to if not exactly S scale.
Interesting...
I understand people are on a budget nowadays and the affordability of Menards is quite appealing. I went out and bought a Menards car a little bit ago just to see what they're all about and I found it to be pretty cheap. A big fan of the colors. It's an okay roller.
My biggest problem with Menards is it's all semi-scale post-war size. It is very rare that i buy any semi scale items. Full 1:48 or not at all
Problem with scale equipment is it requires larger curves and thus larger real-estate to house a layout, as well as a larger pricetag.
Most don't tend to mind semi-scale equipment as it can run on smaller layouts with tighter curves, and tends to be more durable as most of the detail is moulded in instead of being fragile add-on parts. The lower pricetag certainly is appreciated!
Semi-scale is the classic O gauge train, not going anywhere anytime soon.
Menards boxcars are full scale 40' boxcars. The quad hoppers are scale N&W cement hoppers. The FP7s are scale dimensions.
It's hard to run full scale equipment on a 4 x 8 layout, which is by far the most common layout size in the US.
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks I got a 15x8 layout. 3 loops. I can run anything. I only live in an apartment but being single allows me to have the entire living dedicated to a layout. O-54 min curve on the whole layout
I understand that space is a premium for many but for my situation if I was worried about that I would switch to HO scale. I considered that option often but just cant overcome the wiring and more track intensive work needed to prevent derailments.
O scale is fine, I'm just a full scale guy. If it's weathered right and has the right lighting, O scale can look as good as or better that HO.
I do look forward to these videos though, Always interesting stuff
@@Shipwright1918 yes its classic size but very early on when I found out O scale has 2 sizes I just made up my mind that If I'm going to buy it, may as well get my moneys worth and go big
Awesome video, any rumors on when the menards O72 switches will come back?
They were gone?
@@J50Fan20 yea I don’t see them on the website for some reason
@@dieseltruck9638 They had a Beta run of those switches.
No news...
Memo to MTH. Don't take sides in a political controversy. You alienate half your customer base either way.
It is Legacy Station who requested the production of the tank car. Both MTH and Lionel have made custom items for both sides in this election cycle.
Yes, miss me with that crap... I use trains to ESCAPE that garbage!!!
@@timnewman1172 Then don't buy it. No need to keep the rest of us from enjoying it Karen.
MTH made handcars for both Trump and Biden back during the last election
Wow ,all of that fun new items coming out for this awesome hobby and some Karen’s see a Trump tank car ,wow 😮I thought I seen a jack Daniel’s tank car ((2 of them!)Jd let’s not do that u should do Jim beam also 😣if u own mth Lionel then do that this guy gives us updates each week I’m thankful for that don’t sit here tell a man what to post on his channel or negativity don’t watch it 😮it’s that simple I can say no more they will bar me please don’t go on my channel and tell me how to run it you want like the results Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
MTH really gotta stop putting random stuff on their tank cars 😐
If it's a special run, the dealer requested it.
Pro-tip; do not give political liveried products visibility, especially during an election year.
I have considered this position. However, I feel that the role of this particular video series is to provide information about available products. I don't think it is therefore appropriate for me to censor the available information based on my personal preferences or the potential reaction of others. There are many products that I would not support personally due to my personal feelings about a particular company or product that is advertised on the rolling stock, but I have nevertheless included those products in these video announcements for the benefit of those who are interested. Furthermore, to refrain from mentioning products that are "political" is somewhat difficult in our current day and age when everything has been politicized. Should I refrain from advertising products promoting Budweiser, Disney, Coke, Pepsi, and others because someone may find them offensive? I choose to air on the side of information. And, yes, I have provided information about Biden/Harris products when available, so I am not choosing sides - just providing information.
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks I just have a loathing towards political liveried products, they tend to bring out the worst sort of people. Used to work in retail and had to deal with said political liveried products and the worst sort of people.
@@Blur4strike Personally, I think they are a waste of money. You're spending a lot of money on something that one will care about eventually. But, hey, it's their money...
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTricks Exactly, fools and their money are parted.
@@ToyTrainTipsAndTrickswell said I appreciate you giving updates each week and actually look for them weekly it is very said that this is a issue please keep us updated on items 👍
