- It's April and the train aisle at Menards has been replaced by pool chemicals and chlorine testing strips. Are the trains and buildings gone until next fall? No, they are not. But they are harder to find. Join me on a journey that Indiana Jones might envy as I search out, "MENARD'S MISSING TRAINS!”

I never knew this until my wife stumbled across the "upstairs stash" while looking for clearance stuff. LOL! Mark's Lionel Trains is a great channel!!!!!
Mark is cool
Great film Bob...it's good to view items up close rather than thumbing through a catalog or searching the web. My main layout theme is winter and Christmas. My wife started a collection of Department 56 (sorry 😄) Snow Village buildings long before we met. That particular village represents the '50s era. I stuck with it and added on from there...'50s vehicles etc. I have added an extension of Woodland Scenics buildings with a WWII military theme including many Corgi vehicles. And yes...some are Panzer gray ! 😄 I do think the Menards structures are nice looking but feel they appear lit too bright. Thanks for sharing your shopping experience. 👍
Hi James. I will probably always keep a few of the ceramic buildings on my layout that have sentimental value. Maybe I’ll just alternate between them and the plastic or wooden buildings. Every couple of years maybe. Have a great week. Bob
Nice video
Thanks for watching it and thanks for the nice compliment! Have a great weekend. Bob
Awesome Bob👍🏻You’ve discovered the Menards off season secret train treasures.! BIG 😃 when I hear Marks Lionel Trains on Bob’s Workshop 😮 Holy Crap.! Awesome.! I really hope Menards gives you a Subscription.! 👍🏻 Great Video as always and Thanks for the shout out.! 👍🏻😊😎🍔🍟😮
Thanks Mark. Because of you, I might actually buy either that Tuscan red/brown auto carrier or a set of empty flat cars. They would be my first Menards products. Have a great week. Bob 👍🏻🇺🇸🤘

@@bobsworkshop5181 Good to hear Bob. I'm planning on picking up one more with my rebates. I messed one up with super glue so I'm planning on a little Bob's Workshop style door removal project. That could make for some interesting footage.! Thanks again for the shout out it really means a lot.! You have a great week as well.! 😊
Congratulations Bob.! 👍🏻 You have a BIG winner here.! WOW Menards videos have done very well on my channel as well.! Not as good as this though. Your channel deserves it.! WELL DONE.! 😊 BIG thanks again for the shout out. Happy Easter to you and your family.! 🐣🐥
Thanks Mark. This video was a big surprise. I think I can get enough material for another one later this week.
Nice to see all the featured items from Menards. Next time I visit, I will have to check out the upstairs! The barber shop looked really shiny, maybe would need extra weathering and a spray of DullCote.
I think the barber shop had some windows that were just painted yellow instead of seeing through to the interior. I think I may like the buildings with fewer or even no figures. There is still a lot about Menards trains and buildings to like though. Have a nice week. Bob
@@bobsworkshop5181 the barbershop does have an interior I have one on my layout. I think it’s cool, a great price too.
Loved the music that started from the barber shop. It Is from Veracruz, my birthplace here in México. Those Menards cars are ok, but sometimes they have some issues with the couplers and trucks. Buildings are GREAT, but since I am doing a Mexican layout, I am saving even more by scratchbuilding all my structures, ballpark and a horse racetrack included. And yes, you also have more fun. GREAT video as always
Thanks Alfonso! Have a great week. Thank you for watching and the nice comments. 😀
no dog-racing track??
Thise are freaking awesome. 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! Have a great week. Bob
I bought the Sinclair station for my self and a friend who's dad worked for Sinclair. Great video.
Thanks Paul. I’ve seen the the same product but with a different gas company. I can’t remember which one though.
@@bobsworkshop5181 I also saw it in a die cast car catalog recently. Fairfield Colletibles AW/Auto World Rat Fink Garage Fas Station Diarama w/Tow Truck.
We need Menards in Florida… Too bad it’s probably gonna be a while if ever?
There’s still on-line ordering. 👍🏻
There’s still ordering online possibly?
@@bobsworkshop5181 I do it all the time lol.. Id save lot of money on shipping and they’re processing fee. When I took a trip to Minnesota, I went to the one of the stores I really like the store. I would buy all kinds of things from them if lived close to one.
@@bobsworkshop5181 sorry if I can't be there for Easter I gotta work boss's orders
@@anthonymarshall9075 I heard. We’ll miss you.
Oh thanks to your video on the way back from Colorado. I stopped in Cheyenne Arizona at Menards. They had the train stuff upstairs too. :)
Did you buy anything? They have some decent stuff.
@@bobsworkshop5181 A pack of two flatcars. Have yet to run them or even take them out of the package.
Nice Video Bob. Someone needs to tell Management at Menards that Train Season is All Year Long, just not Christmas Season. And to please keep their Shelves fully Stocked lol.
Thanks ! Even my wife likes to go to Menards. 😀
@bobsworkshop5181 That's great. They have alot of neat things there. I found out about the "Hidden Stash" upstairs about 2 years ago. But always seems like just leftovers and nothing much new at my local Menards.
Great video creepy music!
Thanks. Sometimes creepy music is fun. Have a great weekend. ! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I've also had luck at happening upon the off season section of Menards. They have some pretty good deals
Still waiting hopefully for passenger cars.
I live west coast ,no Menards here so far thank for info
Thanks Mike.They have a lot online that I haven't seen in stores too.
I was up there at my local Menards a few times!
Did you buy anything train related?
@@bobsworkshop5181Actually I did. I purchased some cars.
Dino might!
I hope Menards will make passenger cars at some point. Have a nice week. Bob
I've only been in Menard's once they do have nice buildings, but there a little to current for my layout. I try to keep to the late 40s, 50s look. Cool video ,Bob. 👍🏻
Thanks. I like Menards buildings too but there is something about them that keeps me from actually owning any. For me, I think it’s two things. First is the price and the second may be how much some remind me of the ceramic Christmas buildings that I already own. (Which I’ve been trying to sell on Craigslist but with no luck)
Have a great week. Are you going to the Veterans Hall/Winton Road train swap meet on April 15?
@@bobsworkshop5181 I didn't know about that on the 15th. Yeah Thanks. My wife and I planned to be at Lakota HS Oct 14-15 probably just Saturday.
i see more and more modelers staying in a particular era rather than having their scenes move forward in real time- interesting trend.
Never knew they still have them on shelves upstairs. Haven’t been up in that area for a long time. Definitely asking my parents to check these out.
It’s an area I never knew about either but it’s open to the public/shoppers. 👍🏻😀
Well, I guess I'm not the only one that knows about the upstairs anymore. Menards sent an email today about the new Cripple Creek Jail. Try to escape and Jack the German shepherd will get you.
I wonder if it’s something that they’ll carry in stores now or just have online.
@@bobsworkshop5181 My guess is that it will be online now and in the stores next fall if any are left.
Great video and Great Trains and Buildings.
Thanks Kenneth! 😀
I have a N&W 1218, i bought a bunch of hopper cars. Also this year i bought a unch of the military flats and box cars.
There are some nice pieces of military equipment from Menards!
All this time I thought the upstairs was just an employees-only area. I'll have to check it out at my local Menards sometime.
I don’t know if it’s every store but the two around me both have an “attic”. 👍🏻 thanks for watching. Bob
We don't have any Menards near us. I have killed some time while traveling just wondering thru the isles and looking at what they sell. The last time I was in one of the stores I did notice the upstairs but did not have the energy to explore up there also.
I tried to explain what it was like to my wife and couldn't do it justice. I hope someday we get one of the stores.
It’s fun to see the trains and buildings now that train stores are scarce.
Awsum video 🚂🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Thanks!
These menards pre built and lighted buildings are incredibly affordable Unlike Lionel Buildings in menards includes lighting! I've already purchased 2 HO scale buildings And planning to purchase another one
I don’t know much about the HO scale stuff but they sound cool.
I sometimes find items at a discount in the Menard's attic.........so pays to look.
I’ll have to look for it at other Menards too then 👍🏻😀
The Menards app is good for things like this. Also good values on discontinued tools .
Menards has its own APP? Who knew?
Been about a year since I"ve been to Menard's. Like you, I had to hunt, and found they'd hidden the model trains upstairs, instead of SELLING them out in public!! I wasn't impressed.
They’ll be back down stairs after Halloween I bet! 👍🏻😀
Thanks for the review. Which Menard’s store did you visit?
The Menards in Cincinnati on Montgomery Road near Fields Ertel. Reading Road had them too.
Hi bob great video I’m just getting my new layout stated are you from cincy if so I live in celina oh
Hi. Yes I’m in Cincinnati. Thanks for watching. Good luck with the layout. Also, I think the big train show is coming soon in September to Lakota high school. It’s a good one. 👍🏻🇺🇸
I can't get past the blue LEDs in the Menards buildings. Not sure why they don't use warm white LEDs.
I prefer warm lighting also
Upstairs. They always put them upstairs after xmas
I was up there this week and the selection has gotten smaller. I guess they’ll add the new stuff when it moves back downstairs to a main aisle later this year. I wonder if the locomotives would ever even come to a store.
@@bobsworkshop5181 have some old school engines. Also have cpl newer ones too. Lionel MP 15 chessie and northern PAC U. Bought few railcars and growing my track. Moved from old track to new track. Bought mostly 3ft tracks.
Hi Bob, is this the Loveland Store?
Hi. Yes it is. The second video I did was the Menards in Evendale.
Is it just me?
Does every building have a dog in/on it?
I wonder who is the dog guy ?
I think the dog’s name is Jack. And I think he is in nearly all the scenes. I’ve even noticed that the wireless remote that controls Menards new Santa Fe diesels have a picture of that German Shepherd too. Why, I don’t know. But thanks for watching my video. Have a great weekend!
hmmm, is that in Evendale?
I think so. One video was Loveland. One video was Evendale.
