I don’t get any Kalmbach newsletters, purposely, so eveyone may already know this. There is a free, downloadable pdf on circus trains. I found it in a pop up windows on the Rochelle webcam

I have the complete Micro Trains Ringling Brothers red train, plus a few additional cars. It is a 17 car train. Looks good running around the layout.

I caught the Ringling Bros train unloading in Baltimore. The sight of an elephant coming out of a rail car is impressive. The pictures are somewhere in two very large boxes of pictures.

This will have to do, at 3:20

Almost like seeing a LION riding the subway [:D]

A few days ago there was a boat load of N-Scale MTL Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus cars on eBay. The one with the mean-looking Tiger in the center was my favorite. I didn’t feel enough richness in my blood to buy them at $30 plus a piece because I’m not rich. Today I looked for them and could only find one… they are just gone. I wish I would have bought the mean-looking Tiger one. Snooze you lose again[:S]

I got all the bachman circus train cars and the older the great circus train. I know you can still get the bachmann train cars. Bachmann actually release a two new car to that set. I do hope in near future someone would make another circus train set.
