I think maybe our engineers have lost their minds but here’s what’s coming on Monday! It’s pretty cool, so stay tuned for updates!
Thank you,

Something made of melted down wedding bands from marriages that have been destroyed by a Menards addiction?: LOL
It's A Brewery!
This time I am totally stumped, part of a sci fi car maybe?
Its about time Menards started getting into the low cost firearms business. I am in the market for a new 45!
Maybe that's the tip.of an electronic cattle prod. Maybe Menards is making a meat processing plant! Yes stick it to PITA!
Mark : I think you lost your mind for posting a hard teaser like this.... LOL
Looks like a pin that locks into something?
Almost looks like a power plug?
Looks like something the "turn your head and cough" doctor would use! ��
Yes stick it to PITA.
Yes" People who Eat Tasty Animals!... it doe's look like one.
its a plug of some sort.
Turned that teaser every which way and still am dumb founded. Lost a bit of sleep over it too. Even converted a facial recognition program to work but just another dead end. Have to wait till Monday and get through all these days mulling at what could it possibly be. Mark and the engineers are getting far too good at this..............Paul

Same here !! Some part of a building I would say...Monday is a long ways away..grrrr..
It almost looks like two track pins shoved into tubular rail. Even if that's what it is I'm still stumped by that clue.
It's a double barreled...something!
It's what they use to check the temp in the cooler of the BREWERY! LOL
pizza crust roller?
In order to combat "loose track pin" nemesis, Menards is introducing double-pin track connections. Kinda like belts AND suspenders....

I DON"T even want to know whats going on with that (illegal code violation) connection!! Got the armored cable and fittings that look correct , but oh that two plug cord, don't think its UL or CSA listed anywhere. 
Reminds me of some google pictures I have seen of rat nest wiring hookups that I wondered why the house hasn't burned down.
Tubular Switches to go with your tubular track since Lionel stopped making them???
I got it this week! It's a mustache iron. I've been looking for one for years. WOW
Two nostril nose zapper

Illegal? Looks like power feeder drops like we use on each side of an Atlas switch!
You know I was sitting here having a cold one and I believe the teaser is some sort of plumbing coming from a BREWERY to either load a truck or tank car!
Looks like a spring loaded contact switch, maybe for a lift bridge???

MIKE G, you have peeked my interest with the thought of a brewery. I have a lot of beer reefers to move in and out of it. I better start getting them out ahead of time. Hope your idea is spot on...............Paul
Just remember Paul, Mike was drinking beer when he had that idea! LOL
LOL so do I Paul, it would be kind of cool! Plus it would give me a reason to buy beer reefers! More rolling stock!
Play Trains, I could argue with you and say it was a soda, but nope your right it was a nice ice cold beer!
Mike
I have a Coors Brewery on my layout and I do think it makes ya think more. Lol
Larry
I have an old building that I made into a Coors distribuation center. Cut the logo out of a Coors light beer can and the little logos off the side of the cans! Maybe one day I will have a real one!
I am glad tomorrow is Monday. Looking for an easier teaser. Two days I have not been able to work on the layout wondering what this could possilbly be. And to top it off I am still debating on the flat car with wood load. Well back to the wait......Paul
Before I went to bed last night I finally ordered the flat car with wood. The only problem they were out of the free trucks, I waited too long. Bummer but not a bummer I got the car coming and I slept like a baby last night so Mark and crew bring on the next clue. I am ready...............Paul

its going to be a long day. I'm "building" up hopes for something grand...
Paul, I have 10 trucks if you need some! Bob wouldn't repaint them for me! LOL

I need to get my 20 done first.. LOL..
Play Trains, do you have a truck with Jack on the side?
Mike, that's not fair. I was crying first LOL...............Paul

I ordered 2 boxcars in Saturday, and placed the two trucks in the basket hopefully Mark tells us about a substitute for this who ordered by the cutoff date.
Play nice Mike and Paul, I have enough to go around, pay the shipping, you can have them or better yet I would swap for the NS Pennsylvania box trucks! It's Let's Make A Deal Day! LOL Your turn!
