Saw the e-mail for Menards latest release. C&NW locos and a lot of C&NW rolling stock. Looks like they are keeping their manufactures busy this summer. I wonder if there are any other type of locos in the pipe line.

Yes I would like to see another type of locomotive, say a gp30, 35, gp7 or 9.
I guess Menards is just trying to pay off the costs of the F units for now. I'm thinking we may see something new at the end of the year.

Maybe they could contact Kader Industries ( WBB parent company ) and negotiate a lease of some of their tooling. Its apparent that Kader Industries has no plans in the near future for usage. Maybe some of the K-Line tooling that Kader Industries has in storage since the Sandi Kan bankruptcy.

Its a shame the tooling is just sitting there and not being g used. Dave
