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! 👍
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
The engine that does it all! Post-war, pre-war, prehistoric . . . It withstands the test of time. Nice run sessions!
I couldn’t find any older cars!
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

Me too Frank, and keep them light loaded. They may last with a few cars behind them.
@@joeystrains.9316This is very true. I have 4 of the locomotives bookmarked. Just incase.
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.
I had not heard of them before finding some at the local train store. Have you built one?
Nice. I really don’t have any complaints about mine either. I was very tempted to get a set of the PRR engines.
The CNW and the Milwaukee both turned out well, nearly jumped for one of those.
I just sprung for the C&NW powered and uncovered F3. I hope my purchase is as good as your UP!
Those are good looking!
Nice video 👍
Good Work.
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.
To slow mine down I reduce the voltage on the transformer, to 14 volts. I stole that idea from someone else.
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
How long is it going to take to receive?
Very nicely done. Just subbed because of your channels name. I have joined that club. 😊
Still have my Lionel from 1958.
And it will still run far after the modern electronics have fried.
@@OldFrailandDecrepit Yes, its still running just fine.
I like them! Great video.
Marx guy here, nice tin, for me likem plenty good.

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!
