jim pastorius posted:hat is the price of this new building ??
89.99 plus shipping, etc. You also get a Santa Fe box truck with it too !!
Even bigger layout, and more cabinets, Bob! Lol
this building look awesome! I do wish menards would consider allowing their buildings to be powered from the rails rather than the wall (not a big deal, just sharing an opinion).
To power the thing:
1. Offer a 4.5 DC power pack, et. al., like Department 56 has for its buildings.
2. Off a AC to 4.5 DC converter one could get off track power, or AC bus.
Mine shipped today.....can't wait!
Mark the Menards Train Guy,
Very excited about the American Power and Light structure. I plan to visit the special order desk today at my local Menards to submit my purchase and use some rebate checks.
I will need to move my Menards Power and Light to another location to make room, but I am thrilled to do it to highlight this new addition to my layout.
Question: Does this new building offer the ability to have it's power feed plug in underneath? I really like that feature on my Dakota Cabinet Factory and Menards Power and Light building.
Keep up the great work, though I may need to make an addition to the house if my layout keeps growing to accompany all the new great buildings being offered. I have added seven in the past year.

Jim,
Thank you for your support!
There is indeed a plug underneath. It is a great way to conceal the cord.

I have no buildings. This was going to be my first. Unfortunately, the $90 price jumps to about $126, by the time you add shipping and handling to Virginia. Any chance Menards has a table at York to pick one up yourself?
I am on the VA WV line and my building with truck was under $110......check your cart again.....maybe you had the fast shipping.
No - I'm in the DC Metro area and it's telling me "Big Saver Shipping" and the only option is Fed Ex Ground for $20, plus $6 handling. I can go with "Economy" for $43 + $6!
Mine was $108.00 with shipping to Alabama.

Same here to NY.

Don't you all see the scam going on here. They sell you this beautiful building jammed full of lights knowing full well you will have to spend twice the purchase price buying replacement light bulb over the years ! They must think I can be easily fooled. I can not. Instead of buying 2 now I am only buying 1. 
Ed
Total $ 114 to Washington State!
Ed, go ahead and buy two and then you can give one to me, that way neither one of us will suffer. i know you're not a fool good buddy 
. i'll even replace the lights on yours when they go out!!!
I spent 31.47 for shipping to Maryland but also ordered seven Santa Fe trucks and six O gauge cars so using fuzzy math figure $2.25 per item due to shipping. So what I lose on each item I make up in volume.
Great looking building will fit right into my theme!! What a deal at $96.06 with free Santa Fe truck, shipped to my local Menard's. Lucky for me I have one about 10 minutes away. Great job on this release Menard's
Jeff
On its way.... ETA Wednesday..
Looking forward to having my first building on the layout!
Bill
Bill,
And that one will be a dandy of a building to start with. Their buildings are over the top.

My building is on the way along with 10 CNW tankers, hoppers and tractor flats! Plus 11 free trucks! I try to wait and order all I want at one time,saving shipping etc. I love the fact that at this price I can have long consists in various roads that are visually interesting with boxcars, hoppers, tankers and various flatcars loads! Add to that the fact that the consists can wind themselves among various terrific buildings and I am a very happy camper! Now if Menards would offer boxcars etc in Norfolk Southern Heritage liveries I will die a happy man as my Dear wife tortures me to death!!
Mark the Menard's Guy,
Ok you got all these neat buildings and stuff for the modern era guys, how about some Tin Plate Houses and buildings for us Tin Plate guys and gals!
Mike G,
I try to acquire the Military Tanks, Trucks , Jeeps ect, pretty much painted in OD Green and maybe add some Camo, the latest 1/2 Track I purchased from David1 here on the OGR, I touched it up just a might, and fixed the 30 Cal Guns that had been damaged, and painted them.

What a great building, I had to order one. I now have 8 Menards buildings, and they are upgrading my layout plans for my next layout. Too cool! Thanks Menards, I could never build anything this nice and certainly not for the price.
Just checked my order status. This is going to be just as bad as waiting for Mark to issue a teaser or announce the next release. Pacing back and forth and the wife is getting mad I am wearing a rut in the rug..................Paul
Pine Creek, your work looks great! I have an old GP38 I was thinking about painting OD for a military train, thats why I asked. Did you get a power station to go with your Z4000?
All I can say is, 
It could work on my track layout, if it was swapped around in the spot on the track for the engine house on alternate weeks.

My processing and shipping charges ended up at 25% of my order product total of $144. I really like the buildings and cars, but the fees are high.
I ordered the power house 10 minutes after it went online. during the process i inadvertently deleted the "FREE" Santa Fee truck. i cancelled the order and reordered correctly. the processing and shipping fees went up $8 in the five minutes it took to reorder. so much for the "FREE" truck. note to self in the future, if you want too save some money than delete the free stuff especially if you really don't need or want the promotional items. Menards, i love what your doing and the products but if your going to give something away than give it away, don't try to hide its cost in the processing / shipping fees. just sayin ! I'am still a fan
Mark the Menard's Guy,
Still need some new Menard's Tin Plate Houses, Barns and other structures, the originals in perfect shape are hard to find, Menard's could provide these for us Tin Plate buys, at a reasonable price I am sure!
Mike G,
Yes the Z4K Remote Commander Side Receiver is being delivered as we communicate here on the OGR.

Pine Creek,
I am glad to see things moving along well! I am sure you will get your Tin Plate Buildings one day. Not sure if it will come from Menard's, But I am sure it will happen!
Once you receive these, will you post pictures showing how they look on your actual layouts
good design Mark, thank you
Hi Everyone,
Here’s an update on the next run of American Power & Light buildings.
Our new production run is complete and the shipment is on the water. With a little luck, this beautiful building will be back in stock by mid August.
We will keep tabs on the container’s progress and pray to the gods of transportation (and customs ) that there will be no setbacks. I will update everyone with any additional information when it becomes available to me.
Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy
Great news!! Thanks for the update.
That is great news! The first run seems to have sold through before the mag reviews even came out.
Menards has some GREAT stuff to offer. You just have to be here Thursday to see what's new and if you like it jump on it. I like you learned the hard way when I first joined the forum. I didn't even know Menards offered train stuff.
Can't wait! Not sure where to fit it but I'll figure that out later.
Mike

Jerry,
Youze fixin' to see one on the RC3R modular layout in August. We'll be takin' lots of pics. New corner scenery will be debuted at the Fair. Walt is building a Korber silo that will serve as the coal bunker. I have a Lionel sanding tower that will be the Ash Silo. Also have a Lionel unloading shed that will sit beside the Coal Bunker. This module is going to be lit up like a Christmas tree. I'm planning to use a dedicated Z1K to power it.
Sorry Mark, I couldn't wait and was fortunate enough to buy one from an OGR Forum member.
To everyone else, sell this thing out again! It is a super nice building.
