Hi everyone, I recently bought Menard's diesel shed with LED lighting and a Miller engineering Milwaukee Road neon light. As soon as I got it home, no lights worked. Anyone else with this issue?

Is this powered by 4.5 or 17 volts?
Paul: I'm sure that Menard's will make it right for you, either by repairing the one you have or just replacing the darn thing, altogether.
I'm still "out" on this item. I really don't have space for it on my layout but, I guess that I could figure out some place to squeeze it in. My real problem it the way they placed the Milwaukee Road logo on the building. Cheez! Everyone know that the Milw logo is not a regular rectangle but rather rectangle tipped on it's side a bit. The word MILWAUKEE is supposed to be horizontal and the rest of the lettering moved around to fit.
My question to you, Paul, is: Can that rectangle on the building be changed to a proper angle for the road? If I were to use the building as it comes, my Milwaukee Road friends would, correctly in fact, laugh me out of my basement! I haven't actually seen one of the buildings so I'd like to ask you again: Can the logo be corrected on the model?

You need to buy a 4.5 volt wall wart and hook it up on the side of the building.
My guess is that these will be produced in limited numbers and if it breaks they will replace it "if they have one" or refund your money or give you store credit.
Keep your receipt.

Hi, I've been ill lately so please excuse my slow returns. Anyway the power comes from
a 4.5 wall plug.
Paul, it would take some effort, but I think it could be done. If you save the pieces that you removed to put the sign in at angle and then use those to fill in the wall openings. Try it at home with a piece of thin cardboard.
I have the same one the shed comes with a adapter that plugs into a wall socket allowing you to hook up to 3 menard buildings over time as you buy them but the lights have a tiny screw like setting to control the brightness turn it in one direction it should make the lights brighter and dimmer I believe that it's turned down to low or shut off all together try using a very small screw driver the kind that comes with a eye glass repair tube and turn it one way or the other bet it will turn on. mine was turned completely off from the factory then slowly turned it and it was really bright again. hope this helps
Menards by me has nada on the buildings a few woodland scenics
