Menards Union Pacific, One Year Later

[@danshobbies13]

I don’t model O gauge. But Menards is making me want to. That PRR loco along with the dummy loco is right up my alley and in my price range

[@johnknippenberg-LandmarkYards]

The engine that does it all! Post-war, pre-war, prehistoric . . . It withstands the test of time. Nice run sessions!

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

I couldn’t find any older cars!

[@trainman5603]

I am impressed. A lot of folks today have no idea of what All Nation was! I have some things from them, but Walthers was closer for me.

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

I had not heard of them before finding some at the local train store. Have you built one?

[@ajmayowskijr]

Nice video 👍

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

I’ve been on the fence about buying Menards locomotives because of the plastic gears. If and when they come out again with the blue Santa Fe’s again, I will pull the trigger and get a set. Thank you for convincing me. Great video! 👍

[@joeystrains.9316]

Me too Frank, and keep them light loaded. They may last with a few cars behind them.

[@TwistedMacGyversTrains]

@@joeystrains.9316This is very true. I have 4 of the locomotives bookmarked. Just incase.

[@dagryffynhobby]

Nice. I really don’t have any complaints about mine either. I was very tempted to get a set of the PRR engines.

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

The CNW and the Milwaukee both turned out well, nearly jumped for one of those.

[@trainman5603]

I just sprung for the C&NW powered and uncovered F3. I hope my purchase is as good as your UP!

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

Those are good looking!

[@TroublesomeSlateTruck]

Good Work.

[@joeystrains.9316]

I like them! Great video.

[@BillThomas-i6i]

I just got the C&NW. Best Menards diesel yet. Only concern is they still run too fast. They say they are working to get them to run slower.

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

To slow mine down I reduce the voltage on the transformer, to 14 volts. I stole that idea from someone else.

[@chrisgray318]

Very nicely done. Just subbed because of your channels name. I have joined that club. 😊

[@EngineerEd-xt2qu]

I agree mine is running well and dependable too. I enjoy it very much. thanks for telling us about the Chicago Northwestern I just ordered it

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

How long is it going to take to receive?

[@plunkervillerr1529]

Marx guy here, nice tin, for me likem plenty good.

[@billmarvin7927]

Still have my Lionel from 1958.

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

And it will still run far after the modern electronics have fried.

[@billmarvin7927]

@@OldFrailandDecrepit Yes, its still running just fine.

[@richardnelson-ux1zz]

I got my Santafe f3 4.5 beta o gauge locomotive about the same time I bought the union pacific train set I'm really very happy with them I can't even think of spending 2.0000 dollars for a lionel locomotive when its made in China also menards for me all the way to the bank I just received my skittles. Hopper car today will do a little maintenance and put it on my layout

[@OldFrailandDecrepit]

My son is waiting for Menards to make an M&M diesel. Don’t know if they will, but they would sell at least one!
