Introducing Moe’s Garage! Plus our Newest Flatcar Release! (03/26/15)

You are killing me, I just order the last building, now I have to place another order!!  LOL

Mark:

Can I just place a standing order for the buildings?   LOL

Just ordered it. Another winner. Keep them coming. Would like to see a survey started on what to offer in the future.

Personally, a TV&Radio store from the 50s.

Ordered two.  I love Quonset huts.  

Great building - needful one, too. But where's Jack?

I can't wait to see what people do with them.  We have seen so many uses for these buildings out in the real world.  I have seen several of these put together for do-your-own car washes.  Turkeys are raised in these.  Science laboratory.  Military base structure.  Airplane hangar.  Flea market.  The opportunities are just about endless because of how many ways these buildings have been used.

Maybe it's just the angle of the picture, but that front picture makes the rollaway door seem too narrow to get a car through.  It looks no more than twice the width of the standard entry door right next to it.  Unless this is a garage for lawn mowers?

It might not be an issue, however as it doesn't look like the rollaway door even opens so most guys I think are going to be cutting the door out anyway to have something either in or sticking halfway out of it.

My father had 2 on the Farm. Later I used one to restore Corvettes. We spent more time in them than in the farm house growing up. They have also been turned into homes, stores in the country with a new front wall built. Until it was sold, we had one that was used for a summer theatre.

Jim,

That's a good question. This Quonset hut doesn’t have a base, so it would have been hard to include Jack. Perhaps he can come visit from another Menards building in your layout?

Thank you,

Hello Mark, Please make some of your buildings for us east coast guys, PRR, B&O,RDG, NYC... O Yay and that little RR the Suffering Pacific (ESPEE) on the left coast.

The train shed would be a winner with a PRR sign on it.

The farthest East Menards location are in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.

The big railroads that operated in those states were 

Baltimore & Ohio 

Chesapeake & Ohio

Detroit, Toledo & Ironton

Grand Trunk Western

Pennsylvania

New York Central

Nickel Plate Road

Wabash

Norfolk & Western

Monon

Thanks

Andrew

The farthest West Menards location is Cheyenne, Wyoming.

That would mean that items for Chicago, Burlington & Quincy can be produced.

The farthest South Menards locations are around Kansas and Missouri.

The railroads down there were St. Louis Southwestern "Cotton Belt", St. Louis-San Francisco "FRISCO", Missouri-Kansas-Texas, and Missouri Pacific.

Andrew

Reading Railroad is too far East.

Southern Pacific is too far South and West.

I like the idea of the Quonset Hut.

It has to be have a wider door.

The power jack has to be hidden by an electrical meter or placed below the ground.

Andrew

There is something about that flatcar load that I like.  Even if you relabeled it, it's an interesting shape.  Crates could be anything.  Could be great for an Area 51 or Halloween train too.

If you follow the link for more info, A picture shows the Jack plugs in the back end of the building.

I too like the Flatcar and Load, Especially like the fact the Chains are installed.

I'll be getting a couple of those.

The Milwaukee Road flat car is an authentic brown color, instead of yellow or orange like most Lionel Milwaukee Road flat cars.

Andrew

I was sort of thinking a Mary Jane cultivation house!

Cool!! I have a soft spot for both Studies and Hudson. Grew up riding in Studies going cross country 3 times in the 1960's, 

And as for Hudson's I have a good buddy that has 6 of them all perfect. One has 400,000 miles!!!

In our town a few of the building are like this with fronts put on. There was a old airport from the 30 and they were the hangers.
