Current draw for older Menards buildings

Maybe @Menards has these answers.

Use a multimeter and measure the current.  OR for an "about" estimate, count the LEDs in a building with known current and divide to get ma/LED.   Multiply this estimate by the number of LEDs in an unknown building to get a current draw estimate.  You may have to do a little adjusting for signage or motors if necessary.

I have about a dozen Menards buildings.  For the past couple of years, the current draw for these buildings has been posted on the Menards website.  I have some older discontinued buildings that I do not know their current draw.  I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me the current draw for the following buildings:

Camaradarie Bar & Grill, Menards Seed & Feed, Menards Hobby Shop, Dakota Cabinet Factory

Here are some approximate power draws. I wasn't able to find the Seed & Feed, sorry.

Camaraderie: 240 mA
Hobby Shop:  170 mA
Dakota Cabinet Factory: 130 mA

These were all relatively low draws, back before we put animation or smoke inside.

I hope that helps!

Thanks very much, Mark.  That was helpful.

I guess I should buy myself an ammeter.    Surely Menards sells ammeters...I'll check the website.

Good enough for toy trains.

The yellow one on the Menard's site is the same thing as the red one I suggested.  Lots of companies sell that one and rebrand them. Like I mentioned, good enough for toy trains.
