More gear from Menards for our train layouts has exploded on the scene. Included are a flatcar with Shell oil tank trailer as a load, separate sale Pepsi and Mountain Dew delivery trucks, as well as pickup trucks for Chippewa Valley Farm Supply and Electric Eddie electrical contractor!

Menards must be gearing up for Christmas, because a lot of new product is rolling in. New for your railroad is the no. 279-3437 Santa Fe flatcar with Shell tanker load. The 11 1/2 inch car has a wood deck, a die-cast metal Shell tank trailer as well as metal trucks and wheels. The car costs $24.99 plus shipping.

The flatcar has a wooden deck and a nice die-cast metal trailer to haul.

Note the safety stripes and housing for simulated pumping gear. It is also placarded for safety!

New separate sale die-cast metal vehicles include pickup trucks for Chippewa Valley Farm Supply (shown in the May 2016 Product News) and for Electric Eddie electrical contractors. The vehicles cost $6.99 ear, plus shipping.

If you bought the no. 279-3389 Chippewa Valley Farm Supply earlier this year, you just might need the 279-3555 pickup truck for light deliveries!

The pickups are die-cast metal and have unique graphics.

In the race for good customer service, who will win? Chippewa Valley or Electric Eddie?

The Pepsi (279-3500) and Mountain Dew (279-3500) delivery trucks are also  available separately. The die-cast vehicles have lifting sides that reveal racks for soda cases and cost $9.99 each, plus shipping. As always you can opt for free shipment to your local Menards store. Order online a www.menards.com.

Both beverage delivery trucks have lifting sides to help your 1:48 scale delivery driver move the freight (or soda)!
