I posted this photo and a very short review of the new Menards tank car (left), in comparison to a Railking car (right) on the Union Station forum if anyone is interested. (I put it there because Menards is starting to make things in other scales to and this bodes well for the future of all their products, not just O scale).

Thanks for the review Lee. I was certain that it was the MTH car with Menards plastic trucks. Interesting that it actually is different tooling. I had one or two Menards short flat cars and I hated them with the plastic trucks. Since you had good things to say about the new tank car, I might go for some if they come out with liveries that interest me.

Would you happen to know if the menards tubular track is really o scale or is it o-27?

 

[Lehigh74]

The Menards track is O scale (O72). I got some and it mates right up to my 85 year old track.

They have other diameters as well in tubular track; O-31, O-36, O-42, O-54, and O-96.
