I picked mine up last Friday and all I can say is, "WOW". I do however think that Herman's Sauerkraut factory is pretty nice too.
Now, if we could only get Menard's to do a brewery.................Helllllllloooo , Mark TMG, destiny is calling here!

Yes it will. I could kick myself for not buying the cabinet factory before it sold out. It's available on ebay but I'm not paying $165.00.
I also procrastinated and missed out so I will order the Vetter one.
Shout out to Cabinet Bob (dad ). I'm thinking about taking a long weekend and going to the Menard's sponsored train show in Wisconsin. You going to be there. And again I have to say I love this building. Kudos Mark and crew and to Menard's for letting this happen............... Thanks Paul

Paul: I will be there both days.. see you at the Menards booth!!
Bob, half way there. I got the tickets in the mail yesterday. Now have to book a hotel for that weekend..........Paul
The sash and door building is one of the best O-gauge pre-made structures made, by anyone IMO. I cannot fit it over a track but will make room in the industrial area. This building has neat character and neat lines.

I wanna go! I feel cheated, but then again you were not able to come to Seattle when Bob came here! So I guess were even! LOL
Getting the train show tickets from Menards was the easy part. Finding a reasonably priced hotel in Eau Claire was another thing. Last night with the wife's help it probably took the better part of a half an hour. Some hotels were already booked for that weekend. Others were just too expensive or a bit too far away. Not sure if it is because of the train show or something else might be going on at the same time. Wife and I will be staying at the Super 8 on Mac Arthur in Eau Claire...........Paul
I thought I’d jump in here with a little local information on places to stay in Eau Claire, WI in July. Eau Claire is part of the “Chippewa Valley” area which is the gateway to Wisconsin’s “North Woods” tourist area and has lots of motels and places to stay from low priced to higher priced. Our weather in July is usually very pleasant, warm days, cool nights.
The Train Show is going to take place at our Expo Center which is part of our 2,000 acre Headquarters Campus here in Eau Claire. We are located in a suburban area on a main 4 lane highway (312) and it is easy access for RVs and Motorhomes.
Our Expo Center is new, modern and fully air conditioned. This is a really nice “corporate” type place, not some hot, dusty pole barn Fairgrounds building. Lots of beautiful restrooms and there will be food vendors.
We are happy to be able to announce that Menards will be able to offer free camping to show attendees and participants on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. (no hookups, some grassy areas, some gravel areas, some black top areas for you to choose from. 1st come, 1st choice, but there is plenty of room so don’t worry about being turned away!!) All camping would be immediately adjacent to the Expo Center
We will have all our train products on display and available for sale along with some glimpses into future products as well as some closeouts and other bargains.
This is shaping up to be a really great event, we are very happy to be part of it and look forward to seeing all of you in person!!

how about a line of buildings for the military industries... ammo production, artillery piece production, Jeep factory, tank factory, Motor pool, hospital, HQ/comms center, USO/recreation center

Bob, looks like we finally get to meet in person. Saturday night we are going to Elliot's ( big boy 4005 ) to see his layout The wife and I are coming in Friday night staying through Tuesday morning. Paul
Does this building come with the inserts for the rear if we didn't want a train to pass through?

NO it doesn't but that doesn't mean you can fill it in yourself with some cinderblock or brick paper.
