another home run from our friends from Menards. For the price, detail and functionality, you can't go wrong.

Convinced me Dad!LOL
Another winner, Dad!! This is one mid century building that will fit on my railroad! 😀
That is a well detailed water tower.
WOW Dad, You just gave me another item to get next month when I go to Menards in North Dakota!
MENARD'S........is this going to be rerun??? Out of stock everywhere I look.....even the ebay rip off guys are out!!!!
I would like to see this rerun as well. Actually I can see this as being a regular item like their Track system.
I had my eye on this bad boy for months and did not pull the trigger, guess it was too good to be true. It is still being advertised in the January CTT mag so I thought it was available.
This is a great looking water tower! One thing though, it's BIG. If you're running 1/48 scale, it looks fine. For traditional-sized trains, it starts looking a little too big. But for O27-sized trains, it is considerably over-sized.
For anyone running O27-sized trains, you may wish to consider a Menard's HO water tower. While it may be just a tad small for O27, it still may fit in better looks-wise than the bigger unit. Setting it up on a thick base would get the water spout at just about the right height, and might be the key to looking just about right. 
Any idea of the prototype for this nice water tower? Is it a new casting or something originally from another company? There are lots of nice older products out there being rereleased these days.
