Reply to "(12/05/18) New Dave's Garage w/ Lighted Truck from Menards!"

Fellow Menards lovers;

When I first saw Dave's Gas Station, texaco service stationIt reminded me of something I already had. I went downstairs and I found a box with the name Texaco Old Timer Collection II.  As you can see, I have never placed it on the layout.  This is the first time I think I opened the box.  

I agree with others that it needs to be at a corner but as a caveat, it is o gauge plus.  It is a little oversized to be in the rear of a layout.  Due to its size it is more appropriate next to similar items the size of the original Lionel Gateman or the oringinal crossing signal or gates.  IMHO It probably needs to be near those items at the front corner to your larger pieces.

I also agree, due to the old gas pumps, it needs an older truck or vehicle.

This is not to say that I don't appreciate Menards and their efforts to give us choices.  Mark, keep 'em coming.

In fact, I went to a train garden recently and was amazed how much Menards has influenced layouts. The garden was done with various sections and various groupings. One grouping was mostly Menards and in my opinion, some of the more interesting items.  One that the kids really liked, with a push button to turn on momentarily, was the police station with the helicopter. 

That said, this offer is not my favorite.
