I thought it was the plumbers and electricians. You have to keep a watchful eye on them .

Bob, I see your second pic shows the Menards catalog. I received mine the other day in the Dec. 2018 CTT. It's a nice catalog!

Now...on page 5 the train behind the Tampa Towers shows a Menards well car carrying a load of two 20' containers topped by a 40' container. The lower red and green 20 footers appear to be stock 20' Menards containers but the upper 40' is brown. Is that a container you previously owned (assuming the pic is of your layout) or is it a hint of a new release of additional Menards containers?

Mark

Good question, can't answer it......

I do know there maybe an extra lot near the creek

I think I will just work on learning how to fly the one I have! LOL

Bro, use the handheld, you're not supposed to climb in it to fly it! LOL

I'd forget about the tradesmen and work to keep my eye on the "dance" 

"If folks only knew of the sights I've seen"...

Too small for a brewery I think....

A stien factory!! ¿?¿?

I just  left the City Council  meeting and the big news is Menardsville just bought the farm located just north of the small town (a few feet ) . Many businesses  will be moving soon. As you can see in the drone pictures it's very crowded. The city Police are already taking action.. stay tuned for more announcements...

A-Typical Americana... You have pave Paradise  just to put up a parking lot!

I suppose your next move Cabinet Bob is..... take all the trees and put them in a tree museum... 

Charge the people a dollar  just to see them...

I need to know what kind of meds you guys take so I can order some to see what you guys see, I really would like know please. 

I have this new vision of Menardsville, a huge parking lot filled with a thousand free box trucks surrounded by a forest of 20,000 free trees!LOL

Any kind of meds work John just take them in handfuls like M&Ms! LOL

You make me laugh so much !!   By the way, can you donate some trees to the new park ?

Dad, I can spare a thousand trees and 500 kubota tractor flat cars to help build the lot! LOL

It is sad but it looks like a lot of them I take already. How's the song go. " one pill makes you stronger and one pill makes you sad and the one mother gives you does not do anything at all.  go Ask Alice when she's 10' tall".

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small....

My wife and I saw her at the Spectrum in South Philly back in 71, she was a great singer. Wow seems like another lifetime.  At that time some of my Lionel collection was still my fathers.
