@CurtisH posted:Trainmaster, I have a question for you and the others who seem to nit pick Menards for their buildings. Why is it you do not nit pick others? I got a Woodland Scenic's building and the sign was UPSIDE-DOWN on the building. I didn't complain. Stuff happens. But for the price of the building and to have the main sign that is huge be that way kinda makes you think. If you want perfection buy something else. I am just so tired of hearing people bash Menards. Where can you get the variety and type of buildings anywhere else for the price. My hat is off to Menards for jumping into the train hobby and doing it with some nice buildings that SOME of us can afford without robbing a bank!
Sorry for the rant but tired of the complaining

I am sorry that you feel this way and I agree with you. Menards jumped into a market out from the left field and is having great success in it. As I said, I love their products and I would replace all of my other buildings with theirs but one, I am not made of money, and two, I do not have the room. Speaking of money, I do understand that a part of why Lionel or MTH buildings are so expensive is because of the quality. Also, just to put it out there, I am not a 50 to a 60-year-old man who is having a nice retirement (no offense to those who are) instead I am a 16-year-old young man who just is enthused with the hobby and by expressing it through videos. Finally, to answer your question on why I do not nitpick other buildings is one, sometimes there is nothing to say or two, it is just happenstance. Today was happenstance because this was the first time I said anything about a Menards building but it is not the first time overall that I have made a comment about any manufacturer's buildings. For example, I wish MTH put lights on the roof of their Legacy Station building and it shines on the billboard. I wish Lionel made sure that they follow through with their shipping schedule and make sure their products are made right. In other words, I have been there it's just that I happenstance made a comment on something that was about Menards and their products. Sorry that you have had problems in the past and if I have offended you with my comment but this is where I stand when I made it. Thanks and have a good week.
