@ I have a Menards/Lionel set as well. Mine has a racecar on a flatcar, roof trusses on a flatcar, and a jig boom crane car. I posted a video of it a few years back. I enjoy seeing layouts that run something other than Pennsy and NYC. I like and run both of those roads but there’s a glut of videos and channels that feature those - time to mix it up!!
