Almost Gone Buildings from Menards! (Updated: 02/12/18)

Mark, does Fastrack fit in the Maintenance shed track opening?

I couldn't handle the pressure! Power and Light building ordered!

BNSF-Matt,

The openings are 3-3/8" wide. FasTrack will fit like a glove!

The only regret is if you didn't order it!!! 

Impressive!!!

It seems the American Power & Light would make for a nice turbine-generating building for the Nuclear Power Plant, with a little kit bashing: rid the stacks. Not sure how to deal with both buildings having stepup transformers, but I’m sure the pros could sever those on the side of the Nuclear steam generator building.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing, it will go nice next to the nuclear power plant. Of course, I'll wait until the last minute to order that too. Mark, thanks for the heads-up, it helps those of us who always arrive late to the party.

I ordered one also!  And a feed store.

Power plant is all gone!

Earlier, I ordered the Power Plant, too. Hopefully there aren't any blemishes, but, if so, it's something I'll deal with. I've been wanting one of these for a while. I knew they wouldn't last long with only nine left! I just about put it off to long, thanks for the heads up, Mark!

After getting a broken one at Christmas, I was told that they did not have anymore.

I'm not Mark....but I bet the few they had were returns from stores after Christmas. Same thing happens with my son's store.....he works for a large retailer.....they box up Christmas stuff and send it back were they sell it online only. 

Hi Dave, I'm sure that is what happened. When I worked at Radio Shack in the 80s, my manager always told us to resell any returns. His motto was, " If it comes back 3 times then it is really defective." Unfortunately, I really needed that job during college. I have over ten Menards buildings and love them. I'll order again.

Hi Bob & CP, I know when I went to the Menards in ND, they had some dent and Scratch stuff for sale CHEAP.

Darn, I hope there are a few scratch and dent ones for a mystery box sale....

I ordered the Power plant & the maint. Shed yesterday I hope they come thru A-OK.

A good deal. 

It looks like the American Power & Light building sold out sometime over the weekend. Wow!

My Power Plant arrived today from Fremont, Nebraska, one roof vent and the roof access hatch was off, I put them back on, no big deal. All the lights work, but, seem dim, was wondering if I need to order a power supply with a higher output. I used the plug for my Morton Salt to test the Power Plant, and the lights are bright on the Salt building when I use it, so, not sure if the power plant lights are just that way, being an older building.

Even if buying another plug doesn't make the lights brighter, I'd be fine with the softer light they are emitting. I have my eye on four other Menards buildings, but, will have to buy them as funds permit. Thanks again for the heads up, Mark, I really like this building, I should have purchased it sooner!

I placed an order within minutes after your post.  Your order center said product was on hand.  Today I got a call from Iowa saying no Power plant available.  Very disappointed.  Maybe if the order had been filled faster I would have that Power plant.  Also it seems that there is a hassle to get a refund.   I am awaiting to here from Customer service.

I missed out on an APL.  I did manage to grab a morton salt, though
