OMG..Credit card company,, get ready..here we go again..!!!!!

Always look forward to a MENARDS - Release.

Menards is on a roll. A weekly release is very cool.

Looking forward to the new release.

It doesn't look like a box car.....

How soon before Menards does a locomotive?

Look like something with lighting.

A bit spooky Mark! Just received MY MTH PREMIER Chicago Northwestern SD70ACe, the first of anything from that road and "poof" Menards offers something that will certainly go with it! I'll tell my Dear wife I have to buy it so I don't offend the spirits!

It could be the Milwaukee road rnginehouse relettered for cnw.

Please get in touch with Weaver Models and see about getting their 53' Trailer molds.

 

I like prrhorseshoec thought. What ever it is, it will be something several of us need.

Menard's seems to know what we want. I love this, new item weekly approach. Gives me something to look forward to.

And they have kept their pricing affordable. A well detailed model at a reasonable price.

Besides running my trains,looking forwards to Menards new releases is what still brings the "Kid" out in me.

Their little teases are like having Christmas every week.

30th Street....is that train depot photo something Menards has coming out?  I would definitely find a place for that on my layout.  BigRail

Looking at their website I noticed a flat with a Army 2.5 truck and trailer, my question is are they scale? they are made of resin so if they are casted from a RTV mold I am assuming I would think they should have done it scale to capture that market also.

If it is scale I am in for a few. 

The flat looks good also.

While you guys are on the Menard's topic, I have a little story to tell ya.  I am a procrastinator by nature and, ultimately, it ends up costing me more money than if I would've "pulled the trigger" when the item is readily available.  Enter Menard's Camaraderie Bar and Grill (Officially Out Of Stock, Discontinued and Not Available On Line).  I finally found one close enough to my home, (I live in Parma, OH and the Menard's that had the Camaraderie Bar and Grill is in Findlay, OH) so Monday was "Road Trip Day".  Tell ya what, it was a fun day, but from now on I'll make the purchase so that UPS does the driving, (roughly 220 miles round trip) so I don't have to.  Further, those who purchased this Awesome Building and opined of its quality and detail were Spot On!  I just love the beer sign.  Is this one from Miller Engineering?  It is definitely worth the asking price.  IIRC there is a kit available that resembles this building pretty closely and it is much more expensive and it still has to be built.  I guess I've just become the newest member of the Menard's Fan Club!

Well I am guessing it will be an engine house with the CNW sign on it. I will bet 22.1 pesos.

Pufferbelly; welcome to the club.

Already have the Milwaukee engine shed so would pass on this one if it is another shed. 

 

But if Mark the Menards guy needs an idea, how about an Army flatcar with a half track similar to the flat with 2 1/2. I would jump all over that one.

 On a regular basis people ask for 1/48 scale vehicles that will be compatible with our trains. In fact there is a thread currently on the forum about this very subject.

 I wonder if Menard's could produce them? They could also be sold as stand alone toys.

they are scale, Lee Willis has posted something a few weeks ago.

Here’s another hint for Thursday’s release! Check out this sign in action!

 

 

Thank you,

Mark the Menards Train Guy

Could you pull the camera back somemore? LOL

josef,

 

I can definitely pull the camera back a little ... tomorrow!

Chicago Northwestern Transfer Warehouse or freight station! I too would jump on a flat car with a halftrack or a couple of jeeps with trailers. Menards certainly giving each week that Christmas feel! I keep getting the giggles picturing Mark as a jolly old elf!!

I win! Ok you send the check anytime.

John,I think the elf should give you a free one!

Introducing the prebuilt and prelit Chicago and North Western Locomotive Maintenance Shed! This beautiful building is constructed of wood and resin and is designed to allow your O gauge trains to pull into or through for service. It features hand-painted details as well as a lighted "Chicago and North Western" sign that offers multiple unique lighting patterns. A few of the many details included with this building are two workers, two trees, three shrubs, four working doors, and Jack the German Shepherd. The exterior is illuminated by two LED yard lights and the interior is lit by six LED lights.

Perfect!

Ok,so now I'm going to own two engine sheds because I can't resist this one and I can use it for my new CNW diesel! Maybe I can kit bash the other one into a place to live when my dear wife discovers all the Menards stuff I'm buying!!

I agree! 

I hope they do a east coast one. I have a lot of their buildings.

Another winner.

I noticed the colors on the new building would work well with a Reading RR sign. I may have to get one.

Woodland Scenics August delivery, The Train Depot O-scale 

Just picked up my C&NW engine shed from my home store. I would post pictures but my cell phone pictures will not do justice compared to the photos Mark posted. Looks as it should, very nice. I now have both this one and the Milwukee Road engine shed. I do S gauge but could not resist either one of these sheds.  They are not to bad after I pull the people off, they fit in with the s gauge trains well.  This is my 4th menards building and I am enjoying watching them expand their train offerings even though I'm not in O gauge. 

 

edit...I added a pic, as you can see.

NotInWI,

Glad to hear Menard's buildings are working with your "S" Gauge trains. I believe, you should be prepared for more wonderful buildings coming from Menard's. Like you and a bunch of other people on this forum I anxiously await Menard's next offering.

Thanks Tim. I am going to order the flat.
