(01/11/16) O Gauge Release from Menards!

oh my...Monday is a long way off....

I have to say, I love what y'all are doing to promote excitement about O gauge. With today's readily available technology, it makes me wonder why other manufacturers don't do what Mendard's does.

Great Job!

Menard's is a master manipulator of toy train crazies!

Maybe a new  building for the layout ?

Man, I can't take it anymore!!�� Texas Pete is right on! 

This is marketing done right and in a real fun way!!

Looks like a building's cooling tower fan to me.

Great. Menards just got in a shipment of low speed O gauge fans just in time for the summer months. I hope they have the metal blades and not those cheap plastic ones.

Okay I was half right on my last guess about the new freight cars. And if I had not broke a tooth biting my nails I would be biting them right now. Monday is a long way off. I think it is a new building with an exhaust fan in one of the side walls......................Paul

It's a blender!

Gunrunnerjohn:   good one !!!

It's a spinning boutonniere worn by a clown standing behind a screen door.  If you look very closely, you'll get squirted in the eye.

Do I win a prize?

Well, that looks like a building part, and not the cooling fan on top of a model diesel locomotive, so I am guessing a building.  However, if it was a locomotive, its introduction would really create a furor.

I am definitely a Menard's FAN!

Mark, good buddy, this is hurtful and right after I posted I have a hard time waiting for anything! And if this keeps up, Menards may be named a correspondent in my divorce!! Lol

WAITING??  I ordered three items on Monday and they arrived today. 

How do you do that??

Ok, I was told to keep it a secret, but Mark has an incredibly fast truck! After all remember Menards is into racing!!

That fan is exactly like the one that is sold by model tech studios. This should be interesting to see.

Monday is less than 3 days away. Here's another sneak peek of our upcoming release on 1/11/16!

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

Well it looks like wood. And it has slots. So is it a vent cover over something larger but smaller then a breadbox..............Paul

Thanks Mark... You spoiled my weekend, now Monday is way to far off...

Chicken Coop or other live stock building.

If it's anything Milwaukee Road I will order it.  

If not if it looks good I will order it anyway.

Darth Vader's casket, final answer!!

"Swamp Evaporator Cooler"?

And confetti....  I like confetti....

It's 11:25 Monday, Jan.11!! Just sayin Mark!!

Since I don't post much on the forum and this will be my first on a Menards post, this item from what the photos show above, I think it might be a factory building with an aircondition unit or large unit with cooling fan. Only reason I say that is because all factories have large units with fans. Or it could be one of though electrical silver boxes with a cooling fan that would go with the power station they produced. But this is one item from the photos that I'm excited about seeing what it is.

What day is it in Wisconsin? Just askin!

Any news yet?

Does Menards sell clocks and calendars! If they do can employees buy them? Lol

Guys take it easy on Mark. The Packers won yesterday in the playoffs which in Cheeseland results in a holiday the following Monday!!! ��

just checked .... Mark never said what time it would be revealed

Yeah, I'm waiting to Mark!  Please tell all of us, cause I don't want to be late watchin Alabama put a big time county A** Whuppin on Clemson tonight!!!

Roll Tide..........................................................................
