(08/15/17) O Gauge Release from Menards!

Coffee house, farm or a art museum 

A Cattle Car ~ Livestock Car.

Rusty

Farm house?
Barn?
Flat car with hay bales?
Wind mill?

A Santa Fe caboose!  Hahahaha!

A barn. ....Paul

So, we are going to get to see the 8/15 release before we see the 8/1 release. Ok, we now have not one, but two releases to look forward to. Better get those credit cards ready.

We already have a barn from Menards so I'm bettin' on a church that we see in the background.

.

I've been looking for a steady source for scale pitchforks for my layout.  Has a stock car been done yet?

That's not a church, it's a farmhouse.

American Gothic by Grant Wood.

I'm thinking of a different kind of car, a cattle car hauling well, cattle and of course hay. 

Dave

I may be wrong but for some reason I remember this guy being on a box of Corn Flakes.

Your right, it is a house.  A nice farm house to go with their barn would be OK with me.

Prozac transport car for depressed people (or train modelers having just looked at the MSRP of other manufacturers).

Alan

That's the farmer that grows the barley and hops for the brewery that's coming next week.

Barber Shop.

cylindrical hopper for the grain

My Uncle Fred on a flatcar?

Cabinetbob still looking for the Santa Fe caboose in his older years...

New neighbors for the Hooters servers.

Rock Island Caboose

 ...............Farm House!

That's the American Gothic house so since we are this close to Halloween, something gothic-like.  

Or something to do with Iowa.

Thank you,

Mike G. Not looking happy if it's not a brewery..LOL

I know this is American Gothic and no direct reference to PA, but the first thing that popped into my head was Pennsylvania Dutch, which then begat:  Pretzel Factory.

Come on Bob, I am always happy, but if it was a Brewery I would be Christmas Happy!

Carl, that's funny here in my home town the same picture was used to tell everyone the county fair was about to start! LOL

A wood chip car.

Still think it looks like my Uncle Fred! Unfortunately it also looks like my Aunt Frieda! Uncle Fred always carried the pitchfork! Wasn't welcome in too many stores! I know I'm not making sense, this caboose thing is making me crazy! LOL

Rock Island Caboose

This could be a good guess. The house that inspired American Gothic is now a museum in Eldon, Iowa - where at one point two Rock Island lines met. There's also a railroad museum at the old Eldon depot with a Rock Island train on display.

My guess is something related to farming or Iowa. Corn? Who knows...

If you noticed, M has focus on the pitchfork.  Those forks moved hay.  I say a hay bailer on a flatcar!

I think M should send a FREE whatever to the poster who  first guesses correctly.

That's a good point - note, the pitchfork also is appears in the stitching in his overalls...

"we are this close to Halloween"  it's a pitch fork, not a broom!   Russ
