Hm, I believe that this is the first time that I have gotten the e-mail from Menards before the announcement here. Nice new item and I am sure that many people will want to add it to their layouts.

Sure hope they don't sell out! Cant get one right now, but man I sure do want to get one down the road! SWEET! Great job Mark!
WOW, I like!!! Another home run!!
Ken
SWEET !!!! Looks some major construction is about to start.. If I could just crane my mind to do it right....
Raising the roof!!! That's a gem.
Very nice and well detailed as far as I can see. Now that Menards has a construction crane there's no reason not to start construction on the BREWERY!!!!!
I agree Nick!
What a great idea. I'm sure it will find a place on many layouts with such a minimal footprint. Who gets the fun job of suggesting/having final say over what types of structures and rolling stock will be produced? The intuition seems to be very successful over there...
I have one and it is a nice piece for the money, Menards has a good price on it also. BTW I was half right.
"T" crane it is! Nice! No idea how I will use one but it is going to be ordered right a away!
Ordered!

Menards was nice enough to include in the description of the Handler, however, in Cabinet Bob's review he offered another technique we can ponder with our 'cranium'

Looks like a major job is now being planed..when the mayor of Menardsville gives the OK, work will begin. My three sons will be on top, I'll be safe on the ground giving hand signals......not saying what they are.. LOL..

Thank you very much

With a footprint of less than four inches this crane should fit nicely on anyone's layout. Once again Mark and the Menards team has come through with another unique and affordable addition to the hobby.
Maybe the crane is a prelude to a high rise building. Possibly under construction with Menards including figures of dad and his three sons and you could set them anywhere .................Paul
Thank you for the likes. What forum is the Menards stuff posted on

Thanks Mike! I do have plans for a scene based on the new crane, also some tweaks to the area in the pic
Menards, would one add on section to increase height be a possibility?
