(03/21/17) New! Morton Salt Factory + Hopper from Menards!

A soap factory.

Something to do with Morton Salt.

Something to do with a carnival or circus.

Mums the word.. LOL...

It's getting like Jeopardy with video clues!!! Can't wait for the daily double!!! 

A morton salt building? Here's one in Chicago. That would be kool!

Gosh I haven't got over this past week yet. But with such a good guess from Zeke and seeing that it is animated could it quite possibly  be a new building. ( hope....hope.....hope )...........Paul.............Nothing from Cabinet Bob yet. He must be out front of his house waiting for the Menards truck to drop it off or he is in the basement getting ready to film it. LOL.

Waiting in front of his house? Come on! Cabinet Mark probably approved the final design!

I just got an email.  NEW army tank car.   Looks great but have not seen it posted here yet.

Jim

the Morton Salt building in Chicago collapsed under to much lateral pressure from the storage of salt..

Now that would be a cool building to make. where the side collapse and white substance came out and poured all over everything there. Would need some way to contain it and put it back in like a little vacuum. 

It's the Beatles playing their last gig on the collapsed roof at the Morton factory, with a boxing match to follow?  No one eats more Morton salt than me.  My BP has always remained slightly low.  Salt doesn't always affect people the same way.   

I hope it's a building with that sign.  Always meant to buy it, but could never figure where to put it on my crowded layout.  If so, please, not too big of a building. Running...out...of...space.

I feel left out, all these secret announcements that everybody knows about except me! Add to that Bob won't tell me anything is just rubbing "salt" in the wound! LOL

WooHoo Its  a BREWERY guys! Haven't you ever put salt around the lip of your glass of beer!  I got it this time!!!!!

Morton Salt covered hopper?

I agree with Morton Salt  covered hopper ! I would buy two or three if the graphics are great ! 

The teaser was animated. Could that mean that the salt would be animated on the side of the hopper. I am still hoping it is a sign on a building......Paul

I 'm thinking someone with serious kidney stone issues! LOL Sorry, couldn't resist!

Maybe a Morton hopper.

Looking at the graphic the rain is blue where the Morton salt is white. Maybe a plumbing supply building?

Im with you Paul, Its a building that makes BEER!

I have the MPC Morton hopper.  Nice looking car!

I hope it is an interesting building l can use.

It's Tuesday !!! Hope we see something GREAT today !!

There goes Cabinet Mark again, pretending like he doesn't already have the latest release sitting on his layout....

hahahahaha

As the title suggests, this will be "Next Week's" release...We may or may not have a release today.

It looks like I'm keeping everyone on their toes!

C'mon Mark, be compassionate! Need a lift after plowing for 4 hrs! Hope it's a BIG SNOWPLOW!!! LOL

Funny how Cabinet Bob said he was rolling out a video but now seems to be waiting till the next release is announced by Mark. Probably already has it but he wants to keep a low profile like he doesn't know what it is.������.....Paul

A true politicians' answer Bob.................LOL.....But I'll still be looking forward to it to spot prototypes.........Paul

Mark,

Since you already know what this weeks item is, I suggest you name it or them today. Why, make you customers wait. I believe a lot of people have become use to something on Tuesdays. Should you want to announce something later this week, please do so.

Jim, be careful, don't make them mad! Mark and Bob will cut us off! LOL

The initial Menards center flow hopper?

Jim,

I will admit I do know what product(s) will be arriving soon. However, there is a lot involved when we release a new item and these variables make a release date hard to predict.

We go to great lengths to inspect new items upon arrival. Once the item gets the thumbs up, we release it for sale.  Unlike some manufactures, these items are physically available when you place your order.

I really enjoy the anticipation that is created when we give teasers and hints for what will be coming. We are having fun and trying to stir up excitement. I can't image anyone would disagree with that.

We are on the brink of introducing our 5th O Gauge Release in 2 weeks (8th total). I think that is a pretty impressive feat.

Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy

keep up the great work Mark!  if you need someone to "test" your new items feel free to ship me as many as you want  of course, this is to speed up the realease for everyone else...

Your just ROCKIN there Mark! You and the team are doing a great job with the products your putting out! I don't think you could make things any better once you release that BREWERY!

Thanks again for all the hard work!
