This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

You can buy a (rather expensive) scale model of a Menards in Menards. (i.imgur.com)

Looks like it's built to model railroading "O" scale.

EDIT: Oh, duh. It says so right in your picture. I guess if you want the sweet authenticity that only product placement can buy, this is your set.

To spend almost $140 on a Menards model for your model railroad, you either want some sort of very accurate representation of somewhere that has a Menards or you are way too big a fan of Menards.

Also, pretty much everyone I've known into model railroads is into HO scale, so who is even going to buy this?

I've never lived in a state with a Menards, and I'm still a big fan. Menards is worthy of some fandom.
