The circus is coming to town this week in the form of a collection of HO scale circus themed train cars and accessories from The Great Circus Train line by Walthers. We have new, unassembled car kits from the 1st - 6th release 1967A-1967F. There are several flat car kits, an elephant car as well as some accessories such as a calliope wagon, mac truck and canvas wagon. Based on the literature included these appear to have been manufactured around 1990. All the kits are new in the box and are near mint condition. Most appear to not have been opened until we inventoried and photographed them. There is very limited quantity so make sure to grab them while you can.
If you are looking for a bit of circus train nostalgia, feel free to watch the video clip below. It features great railfan footage of the Circus World Museum train headed by a pair of EMD E-9s of the Wisconsin Central as it rolls through a rural town on its way to Milwaukee for a parade circa 1999.
