Bob, thank you for the photographs and video!  It looks great in Menardsville!!  I like the simulated rotating fans in the window.  Looking online I see the Footprint is only 20"W x 6-1/4"D.  Menards did something smart again by putting a bay for the track to run through reducing the overall footprint of 20"W x 11-3/8"D to the effective footprint of 20"W x 6-1/4"D.  A modeler could use that track space to setup a boxcar loading scene, or hide a through track to make better use of small space!  

Still for me, 20" length will take up too much room in one of my two small towns on my under construction layout.  I'm sorry I will have to pass on this one. 

Now, some observations and questions.  I like the siding on the exterior walls.  Do you think it is made to simulate board and batten wood construction or a sheet metal siding construction.  It seems similar to the power station which I took to be simulating a metal sided building.

I know Menards makes use of red lights on the roofs of buildings which seems prototypical for say a power station or the salt building, but I think I would remove them from this building.  Just my own personal preference.

I am glad to see Jack free and clear holding court on the loading dock as dock foreman!!  No leash here!!  

Overall, a great building!!

I picked mine up last Friday. I'm glad a have the space for it as it's a big puppy, probably the largest from Menard's to date, for this era anyway. I hope the brewery release is a sizeable structure too.  

I also have to agree that this release will be a sellout, nice addition to their building offerings.
