Saw a History Channel show about Wild West Shows from the 1880’s through 1930 that mentioned an outfit in Texas that went by the name of “101” that was huge in its time. Said they had their own specially build train to take their show on the road. Might make a good article for a slight deviation from the standard circus train?
Roundhouse (Model Die Casting) put out an 8-car Wild West Show car set with shorty passenger cars, stock cars, caboose, and Climax locomotive. Have you seen it?
