(09/19/17) New! York Hotel Royale from Menards!

Max , Ya think!

Just kidding with ya.  If you are a York guy YOU have to have one.

Larry.

I will

How about saying you need a 5 Amp 4.5 Volt supply?  To me, that places it in "lowest terms".

Can't quite make out the street address on the awning over the front steps. Can anyone else see what it says?

Looks like 3334 Carlisle Ave, however, I will confirm tomorrow after lunch when Cabinet Bob reviews his

Is the sign removable, or is it printed within the brick pattern?

THANKS

CincinnatiWestern,

...  I peeled back the York sign to see how easy it would be to remove. It comes off pretty easy but it leaves a little residue ...

I hope that helps!

I guess we know what building will be in the next mystery box that is ordered!

Just placed my first Menards order..hope there are more tall city structures in the future

I believe that the address on the hotel is 334 Carlisle which is the address for the York Fairgrounds - Very creative

Mine was sent out SMARTPOST.. FEDEX TO POST OFFICE..  It MAYBE will be here in 10 days..grrrrrr.... I know Menards uses the cheapest way to ship, which is ok, but I hate Smartpost. It actually comes within 10 miles from me , then to its next hub which is in Kansas, then back to its  next hub   Des Moines Iowa, then another 3 days from there. anyway,, got that off my chest this morning... LOL..

Dang It     He was toying with us !

Hi,

I have a question for Mark the Menards guy. I just purchased some train items on the site and I was sent the 11% in-store rebate. I live in California - so obviously we can't use the coupon. Are there restrictions from me forwarding my rebate to a fellow OGR member who could use it? Just wondering, and hoping to help out those who could benefit from it, because we can't.

Thanks.

OC Patrick,

That is very thoughtful of you!

We have no issues with folks transferring the merchandise checks. Thanks for asking!

Thanks Mark! And thank you for the really neat train offerings from Menards.

I agree about the Smartpost arrangement. A recent eBay purchase was delivered by FedEx using Smartpost. As I tracked its progress, it quickly arrived from the seller to the FedEx hub, then seemingly nothing happened for four days as it was slowly moved into the postal workflow. Maddening.

How tall is it ??

 23 inches tall. If you go to the Menards web site, it will always state the dimensions of foot print and height of their buildings.

just received the HOTEL. looks like a truncated Chicago Hilton. Nice.

First impression is that the signage must be replaced. Mine has a fold crease running across the sign. I will design and build a 3D printed two-sided lighted sign that hangs up and down with supporting posts.

I have made 3D parking signs for friends. So this will be larger and comprised of two parts   HOTEL and Name. I may not keep Hotel York Royal.

Also, there are a few rub marks along the vertical supports. but not a problem. the windows are fantastic situated on each side all over the place.

Bob I call Smart post Stupidpost as I feel it's the worst way to ship something. Old parcel post was quicker. Trainz uses it a lot also, I'm about 4 hours from them but it takes a week for me to get it. 

Model similar to Yorktowne Hotel, York, PA

I saw a photo of a hotel in a gulch in an old Idaho mining town , where the track ran under the building overhang flush on the creek, trains stopped there. That one would have kept me from bashing two kits together.

Mark,

I'm a big fan of the Menards structures and have bought many.  I've been asking for years for someone to please offer true city buildings, and voila!  This appears to be a good one - I really hope it's the first in a series.  You say it's made out of MDF.  I tried zooming in on the website photos of this building to see the brickwork detail, but the photos aren't high enough resolution.  

Any chance to get some close-up photos of the brickwork and building corners posted here?  

Thanks.  

Peter
