@@TriGogglin I work at one of the Menards stores. John Menard (owner and CEO) REALLY takes his trains seriously. We are strictly told to keep a close eye on that area to make sure it looks nice and neat. Also taking down the train section early to prepare for incoming summer toys is a BIG no no. Not to mention that Menards hosts a train show in Eau Claire WI every summer.

Being into Model Trains and Auto Racing, always was aware of Menards, but never been to one since they are only in the mid east, finally went into one when on vacation in South Dakota in 2019 , wish we had those here in CA. Basically a Home Depot, Mini Mart, Best Buy, Trains Store and Toy Store all under one roof.

N scale is terrible, priced just like the HO after the promotional release to onboard the cheapskates. HO was the same thing as N scale to get every one off O and G scale. just buy the Z scale from N3Vgames before you waste your money and time on N scale.

Saw this in my reccommended and glad I clicked on it. O gauge BN flatcars. Much as I am not a huge fan of Menards O gauge (The track is workable for most people probably, but as fastidious as I am about clean rail, I find the metal they use has to be much more frequently cleaned than 100 year old O gauge rail I have) I do need a pair of cheapie BN flatcars to use as idlers on either side of a K-Line BN gondola, an ex-Marx tooling car that has working drop ends. Got a long pipe load for that car that needs idler flats and I am reluctant to take the trailers away from my MPC era Lionel BN TOFC flatcars.

@TriGogglin Год назад

Well I'm so glad you did click on it and I could be of help. Really appreciate you watching. That pipe load sounds like it would be a cool looking load..

@frankmarkovcijr5459 Год назад

You have to watch with some of the diecast vehicles are smaller than O gauge but of course it makes it easier to fit in an MPC car carrier. I bought a thing of people and the adults for more like the size of teenagers.

We had a TT scale at home (1:120) and were always buying from Berliner-TT Bahnen model train company. This was in the 80's and the 90's and as a kid have great memories of building the whole table top with my brothers and my father. What I liked about that company back then was that all the building came in a little blue orange box disassembled and you had to build it all yourself, put all the signage on etc. I see nowadays they just selling whole buildings and that's not as much fun :)

@TriGogglin Год назад

TT, I bet that was fun. You can still get a lot of kits at hobby stores you still build. I think stores like menards sell pre built structures are kinda cool for like the Christmas tree displays and Christmas villages that you would take back down till next year.

As ericstrains has pointed out, Menards really has outdone themselves on making attractive looking cars for a remarkable price. You won't have the additional details like you would find on Atlas etc as much of those features will be molded in but I personally like some of the road names and color schemes they've released, both prototypical and not.

@TriGogglin Год назад

In my opinion I think the menards trains and buildings look good. I think what they are going for is not the detailed model person but the average person just wanting a cheap decent train for a Christmas village or under the tree for the holidays. Or just maybe a person just getting started in the hobby and dont want ti break the bank. I think some people in the comments are being to critical of the quality or the cheap appearance possibly. But for most.. these are decent looking trains, and if they did them in N scale I sure would buy some....

@Mike__B Год назад

As far as I know none of the Menards does HO scale trains, they have some buildings in HO scale but that's it. Not too bad for instant gratification, got a few sets myself and the LEDs are flipping bright as heck but as an HO'er myself it'd be nice to have other options as far as rolling stock.

Our hobby town is a little bit of trains, and the rest of the store is models and RC cars.. I don't even bother going to it much any more.

I'm fortunate in that I live less than a mile from a Menards store. If you are not as fortunate you can buy most of what is shown here off of their web site. About their track, the pins are always loose and a regulation track pliers will not tighten them. You didn't mention or I missed which Menards this is but at my local Menards all the track suffers from that deficiency.

@TriGogglin Год назад

Cool thanks you for this info. I'm not familiar with O scale track. This menards was located in Reynoldsburg Ohio..

Glad I could show you more, it's an everything store, if you ever get the chance to stop in one, you should. Just make sure you have an hour to spare, thank you for watching..

@Snarkapotamus Год назад

They have some furniture (usually above the electrical department on the mezzanine). But they're primarily a building supply store run amok! You can buy groceries (but no produce), dog toys, kitchens, etc. and an incredible selection of ticky-tacky junk! BTW, white tags are regular price, red tags are discontinued items and any other tag color is a sale of some sort...

@bradjames6748 Год назад

@TriGogglin 12 дней назад

The last catalog I seen was for 2023, and the only HO stuff I've seen from menards is buildings. If you go on line and put in menards train catalog, a link usually pops up for their online purchases. I hope that helps a bit.. appreciate you watching

Can't imagine they'd ever do "N." Too small, stores are filled with shoppers and small boys. The boys don't go for tiny trains, but grown-ups do. We have one here in St. Joseph, MO. Very big new one in nicest S. Kansas City. Very classy stores. Staff, etc. above average. Dec. 12, 2022.

@TriGogglin 11 месяцев назад

Should be able to order their catalog on the web sight. And if you go to your local menards, they have an upstairs seasonal where they keep the stuff still for sale when it's not in season.. hope that helps.. if you can't get the book, you may have to wait till the new one comes out around November I think..

In most people's opinion that's the best Scale, alot on the market to chose from, don't take a lot of space like O, and is easier on the eyes than N, If I had the space I would do HO as well, appreciate you watching
