Menard's fourth iteration of their Santa Fe diesel

Postby Neil » Thu Oct 27, 2022 4:13 pm

Still in limited volume mode as sold out within minutes. Cannot fathom what they are doing to keep selling a few hundred locos or less at a time. Any insights?

May be all that supply chains are allowing them.

Side note - the "BETA" part is genius; keep calling it beta and you rarely have to act on any warranties or returns when these break.

I'm not the target customer, but they'd prob look a little better without the chrome trucks and pilot.

It's a ploy to fool people into thinking it's a collectible.
