Menards new Product Announcement !!

Wow I don’t have room for all those houses and a church too!

just a sample !!

Looks like an MTH railking farmhouse.

Nice price point on these new homes!

Hummmmmmmmm,...........................where's the BREWERY??????

It looks like Menards has picked up the tooling for a model line that I think MTH had for some time.

In fact, the MTH line was also quite familiar to me, because it was identical (except in size, of course) to the line of N scale model houses that Model Power sold in the 1980s. I have several of those.

Note that the buildings use some of the same components with varied details to represent different structures. Nice design overall.

I assume these are indeed plastic and not MDF.

The new gas station appears to be a K-Line design, so maybe they obtained some of the K-Line molds.

Again, it points back to Sanda Kan. That’s where all of K-Line’s tooling ended up when Maury Klein settled with the factory to pay off his debts.

Jim: These are molded plastic with no interior lighting and no base. there is window lining in all windows. Hope this helps.. Bob
