I've got the NASA Saturn V Support truck in progress. Then, of course, the wheels got into motion, and I have another idea that includes a couple of Menards boxcars that I don't run (they aren't RRs I run) and a beat-up post war switcher that I have been meaning to fix up. I think you can guess where this is going! This truck started life as a Menards Penske box truck. I found some logos online and printed them on decal paper. The rocket image will go on top and the NASA logo will go on the sides with the 'SATURN V SUPPORT" text next to it. The Saturn V logo is extra, but wanted to print it in case I wanted to use it somehow. I will post progress pics as I go.  |

This is an interesting project, Adam. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out. 😀

The Menard's box trucks are a great piece for modeling different companies.
Great project.

Adam, What you are going to need is a flatcar with a capsule on it, and some astronaut figures. Alfred

Adam, The usual project spending overruns. If you decide instead to put a Space Shuttle model on a flatcar, just think about the costs. Alfred
