You know they have a flat car with a Budweiser delivery truck on it, so it's about time they do a Budweiser brewery for you

Hey John if it ain't Rappa it ain't scrapple. Only Rappa puts the "OINK" in.
Mark, can you answer if Menards will be doing the July show at their convention hall again this year and will Menards be offering discount tickets through the website again this year. Allocating time for it..........Paul

Hi Paul,
The International Toy Train Expo is scheduled for July 6-7, 2019 in Eau Claire, WI. Here's their website with more information.
Franktrain is right, tickets are available online (here's the link). It's $6 at the door or $3 if you purchase ahead of time. And, children 17 and under are free!
Thank you,
Mark the Menards Train Guy
Menards is from Wisconsin, so a bratwurst factory! They already made a sauerkraut factory. And since you need beer to wash it down, a brewery will be next!

The Brewery should have been first! LOL That way the guys from the Sauerkraut factory, power plants, Fire Station and all the others would have a place to go after work! LOL

Sorry, Mike, respectfully disagree... the workers need an after-hours bar, not a brewery. Now if they only eat beer boiled Brats, you may be on to something

Well there'd be no beer to drink in the bar w/o a BREWERY to supply the suds so logic dictates that the BREWERY must come first. On the other hand if the BREWERY had a bar there'd never be a shortage of beer.

Nice try, Nick, but that’s not a brewery... it is definitely one of those new-fangled Foo-Foo micro-breweries 
When we had the Rainer Brewery here in Seattle, there was a place to sit and try there brews! So it could be a Brewery!

Mike the Guinness Brewery here in Baltimore has a Tap House where you can order not only beer but also pub type food - best of both worlds.

Go Packers!!!

I'm pretty sure a 1:48 Lambeau field would consume my entire layout. I'd buy it anyway though. Go Pack!

Have a great day!

What a great teaser ROFL. A dancing pig....I still don't have a clue. Mark you are good at making teasers to keep us guessing. Hopefully we are not that far away from this release. .....Paul

Sounds good Dad.

I don't know about wiggle, but I am sure I could waddle up to the bar for that Silver Bullet!

Might this be a further hint toward Piggly Wiggly?
Okay- I'm new to this and not a big fan of teases. When will we find out what it really is ??????
Dewman51 posted:Okay- I'm new to this and not a big fan of teases. When will we find out what it really is ??????
Probably after a lot more useless speculation.
I’m still hoping for a Harley-Davidson dealership, with at least two 1:48 motorcycles. But more is better.
It seems like there is wave of Piggly Wiggly votes because of the dancing pig. Not living near a Piggly Wiggly I haven't seen any of their commercials, if that is truly one then I don 't think there is any doubt. Piggly Wiggly it must be.
Gee I thought we might of found out what it was today, seeing it was HOG THURSDAY
Boss Hog Car.??

Keep it UP.

Bob, is this really at your house?? Wow! Perfect model train weather!
Perhaps a roadside BBQ joint. Doug
The difference between "cleaver" advertising and aggravating advertising is a fine line -- I think this is about there!!
That picture really is at Dad's! Problem is the train room is underneath it! LOL
I was thinking, maybe because Dad cannot get out to his layout that is why we have not seen the anouncement of the new building. .......Paul (son with no number )

Paul, I am sure DAD has been out there in the train room! He just hasn't shared pictures of the tunnel he dug under the snow! Either that or he is curled up in a ball with train DT's!
paul 2 posted:I was thinking, maybe because Dad cannot get out to his layout that is why we have not seen the anouncement of the new building. .......Paul (son with no number )
Yes Son, you are correct....Just wait to feast your eyes on it.....Dad...
Either the Razorback Meat Company or the Pork-N-Beans Canning Factory. Either way, someone will be eating great later.
Dewman51 posted:The difference between "cleaver" advertising and aggravating advertising is a fine line -- I think this is about there!!
I think one week and maybe two weeks of hints before the reveal date is plenty of time for everyone to have fun guessing. Beyond that it becomes really aggravating. I will say; however, Menards doesn't put a product on the market until they have it in their inventory ready to ship.
There is always the possibility that the reveal has been delayed due to circumstances beyond their control.
I have been used to waiting months and sometimes years for hobby product to be released- waiting a few days is literally nothing in comparison.
MG Brown posted:There is always the possibility that the reveal has been delayed due to circumstances beyond their control.
Yes there is that possibility. If that's the case, perhaps they shouldn't post these hints until they actually have the product.
Shop the Pig: Piggly Wiggly Store from Menards (279-4426) Click to see more!
Dimensions: 14”W x 6-1/2”D x 5-1/2”H
The basics: The O gauge Piggly Wiggly grocery store reproduces an icon familiar in small towns in the south and Midwest. The structure’s base measures 14" wide by 6-1/2" deep and features a front sidewalk and decorated interior. There is illumination from the front overhang, and the storefront sign has a steadily illuminated round pig icon. The chase lighting sequentially illuminates each letter and then flashes Piggly Wiggly. There are customers and carts inside the store and shoppers outside.
Why you need this: Founded in 1916, Piggly Wiggly was the first self-service grocery store in the United States. Rather than have clerks taking items off a shelf for a customer, the customer could make their own brand selections and take his/her own basket to the checkout. The iconic cap-wearing pig image is familiar in towns large and small, and there are currently 530 Piggly Wiggly stores in 17 states.
The building design is timeless, fitting in from the 1940s through today. It is a standard shoebox design with a narrow overhanging marquee with the store’s iconic pig clerk, and an illuminated store name.
The windows and doors have trim simulating aluminum framing. The exterior has brick texture and the bricks are a cream color. On the ends are signage for Piggly Wiggly and there are vintage advertisements for Tide Soap and Campbell’s Soup. The rear of the store has an employee door and two loading docks for truck deliveries.
The store interior has printed walls with an extensive fruit and vegetable section. There is a free-standing fruit counter on the left side of the store, and a segment with cereal and soft drinks near the front window in the right side. Inside there are three shoppers with carts two standing near the fruit stand, and one by the soft drinks. A kiosk is by the front door with an employee ready to assist shoppers.
Out front are two pedestrians, two gents engaged in a conversation, and a fifth figure paused in front of the blue mailbox. You’ll also discover a mechanical pony ride and, of course, Jack the German shepherd, on the scene.
The electric signage looks great. It highlights each letter of the store’s name in sequence, and then flashes the name with all letters illuminated. The bright red letters are impressive in bright or dark room lighting.
This is an attractive store that will give Red Owl a run for its money for the hard fought battle for selling groceries in your train city.
Power requirement: For illumination, the store requires a Menards 4.5 volt power supply, Menards SKU# 279-4061, 279-4062, or 279-4050 sold separately.
The 9-Piece Plug & Play Accessory Pack (279-4681) includes one four-way line splitter, one 5-foot, one 4-foot, and one 3-foot extension section. The three Y-splitters can power up to six vehicles. Have some old buildings you’d like to illuminate? The set includes two four-inch LED tape lights that can provide additional spot lighting wherever you need it. The accessory pack can do a lot!
The 8-Piece Plug & Play Accessory Pack (279-4035) includes two 6-foot extensions (straight plug head), two 6-foot extensions (90-degree plug head), two male to female conversion pieces and two Y-splitters.
