Thanks for the pictures Dad! I was like Paul wondering where your putting all this great stuff? One suggestion, Put a crate or bucket, heck maybe even a pallet of Coors on the side of the station to hide the side plug in option! LOL

That's a power port for electric cars so they can get to Menards to buy more trains !! or.. you can plug in a plug and play truck or car into it too .

My "problem" with finishing a train layout -- as I recently did after a 1-1/2 years layout-building adventure -- is that I can't add a new building (like this spiffy Menards station) unless I remove something from the layout to create space for it or any other new item. This agony can be described as ADALCAP Syndrome (Advanced Distress after Layout Completion As Planned).

Further, my train room is filled wall to wall, so the option for future layout expansion may be adding-on a wing to our house.

In the meantime, I commend Menards for carrying on with new products despite my non-participation in purchasing.

Are the figures permanently attached to the platform?

Yes, They are permanently  attached.. Bob

Thanks Bob, that's what I thought.  I was going to use the station as an antique shop and use the figures on my other station.  Your station fits right in Bob.  Anyway I'll use it on my RDC commuter line.  It could use a small station.  Nice job Menards.

Ahh the tunneling crew from the Menards Power Plant does fast work 

Ive been thinking about the ports. Easy enough to add "whatever" to cover them; but how about say, a lit vending machine with a plug solidly integrated as a filler accessory? Wont fall over, is along the lines of plug &play, somewhat universal with other buildings, low count part list( led direct on male plug). Other items might be thought of too. It could even be unlighted with a faux plug that could be trimmed off if not used there. That would be great in a blister pack group. Say one lit and three faux plug items so they can really empty our fat wallets quickly ? ( kinda funny eh? "Overpriced Menard's"  )

Not a problem - just use the AAULTTEL solution - (Add An Upper Level To The Existing Layout)  !
