  • This is the first train related item from Menards that I ever purchased. This review looks at it closely with lots of photos of the building and video of it in a darkened room. Ultimately, it wasn't for me and I returned it for a refund.

    While I haven't purchased any Menards equipment or buildings yet, I really like a lot of what they have produced.
    You found a really nice one. Enjoy!

    It's good to view items up close. I would have returned it also. 🤷 Thanks for the review. 👍

    Too bad yours crapped out. I haven't had such bad luck with my Menards structures. Plasticville stuff is fun to dress up, you could probably get some for cheap and paint them to look realistic. Funnily enough, I've been making my layout more of a toy train layout with some earlier Lionel accessories. Good luck with yours.

    Good review... I was thinking about getting one of these myself, but have decided to go the Plasticville route instead. Plasticville doesn't take up much space, are plentiful and just asking to be kitbashed.

    Sorry it did not work out. Great video review.

      Hi Paul. It’s not a big deal. Menards isn’t too far away. Have a great week! Bob

    Wow, at first glance, that does look really cool! Too bad it didn't work out for you. Menards does seem to have quality control issues on certain products. Maybe I will do a print out version like that for one of my layouts.

      The lighting is sweet and I would like to have a movie theater of some sort. Making one is a neat idea.

    and if it were Lionel it would be $200 and wouldn't work either

    Spot on n Bob. As you know I have many of these buildings so I have already been thinking ahead. When the great burnout happens I will configure Woodland Scenics more realistic LEDs instead of the strip lights Menards uses. Taco Bell burnout will be a very Bad BIG Bummer day 😢

      Aw man! I do love your Taco Bell store. That gas station you just reviewed too is also very sweet.

      At eye level in a dark room, it looked really cool. It would look really great from your track-cam. Though I’m not trying to tempt you. 😀

      Good to know! Thanks. Not a real quality product but I think if a person spent some time.. lights, paint, etc. could be a nice building and still a little cheaper than other building manufacturers...🤔.. I guess if your willing to do that might as well build it. Lol Thanks for sharing!👍😃
