If I had a nickle for every time I've heard that I could afford the entire MT Circus train ;D

Just had one of those "Doh!!!" moments. I wonder if this means we're getting circus wagons. Now THAT I could use. Haven't been any available for years.

The Extreme Trains show had a pretty good treatment of the RBBB circus train .. apparently they do some extensive rework on the cars they use on their trains .. pretty much custom jobs .. one of a kind ..

Check this link ..

The RBBB train does have a flat car with a John Deere tractor. I guess they will have to use an Athearn tractor.  ???

Anyone have experience with Sparkling Star Models? Apparently they have been making circus wagons and train cars for a few months. Pricey, but these niche operations usually are.

Those wagons aren't the easiest to paint , proven by the looks of them , yet shamelessly priced as if you got a pair that were painted twice as good . I know who does have a pair .
