As I have posted before, I sure would like to see Menards issue a large, weathered, coal tipple/building but after all this time, I'm beginning to believe it will never happen. I have been very impressed at the quality and out-of-the-box thinking from Menards in the development of their buildings. At this point, I would be happy if they took the Morten Salt Factory and reconfigured it into a weather coal building. Paint it black/grey, take off the lighted salt girl sign and replace it with the removable railroad hearld signs (ie New York Central, Illinois Central and other roadnames). Recently, Menards has been taking previously issued buildings and redesigning them into other types of structures. Maybe they could do the same with a coal building.
