Menards International toy train show Sneak Pictures

I need two of the big ones and three of the little ones !

Hilarious! It’s clearly a modular building kit being delivered by a Menards truck. 

Between Dad and Mark, I haven't been teased this much since college! LOL

Corrugated box factory!!!!!

What's in the box??? <best Brad Pitt impression from the movie Seven>

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow Bob. I'll be there right around 10, riding my maroon  knee scooter and wearing one of my funny train related T-shirts. I'll be easily recognizable.

My guess, one Menards display.

They have to hold the brewery everyone but me have been asking for!! 

Have a great day everyone who attends and who slip over to Elliot's!  Follow the snazzy Maroon knee scooter with Four on the floor!!!  

Don't be surprised, it Could be ME in there! LOL Cant wait to see daylight tomorrow!

I feel the same way Mike. It's like being a kid again waiting for Christmas morning!

Guys, you will be very happy to see what's in the boxes. Sorry no more hints tonite, but you will like what's inside. Lots of great different road names too! Stay tuned.... Bob

Wish I could be there but living on the east coast it's just too long of a drive. But I will be here looking at all the great pictures to see what will be a must have. 

So come on guys help out a fellow Menards fan and keep me informed of what is new.

Whatever it is. My wallet will take a hit...

Good Morning everyone ! Today's the day, the unboxing of 12 new products from our friends from Menards ! What will they be ? Stay tuned,only 3 hours till the show starts.   Bob

It’s like Christmas in July!

I look forward to you lucky guys who can make it there, to take and post lots of pictures!

Thank you in advance -

I'm driving up tomorrow, I hope I don't get a speeding ticket 

I'm at the door! Looking forward to what this show has to offer!

Tell Bob, Paul2, and Elliot I said HI! Along with anyone else you meet from the forum! I think I see Franktrain is going to be there as long as he doesn't get a speeding ticket! Have a blast and please give us a report what you think of the show!

Do you guys at the train show know when it is going to "Drop"?

Please post pictures, of course!!! Thanks, Unclepeterr

And a drum roll please!  

Come on people, somebody has to have some pictures and info.

Lol, I totally spaced on taking pics.  My bad. 4 new military box cars, 4 new gondolas in a variety of roads, including UP and Pennsylvania,  naturally. They are scale wide but a bit shorter.  A UFO building, a parking ramp with retail on the first floor that will come out in 2019. Sorry I didn't take pics, too involved talking to Bob and Mark.  Also got to meet John Menard, I thanked him for all of us.

The show is huge with deals galore. I got an MTH TTX TOFC with a Milw Rd trailer for $26. Saw Atlas Master BN box car for $33. MTH car carrier, Conrail, $40. Tons of stuff, many many vendors.  Apparently,  Lionel and MTH are coming next year. DEFINITELY going next year. It's the best show I've been to, ever (I've never been to York).
