Thanks Rick. Some day I might I have one already started in HO scale I might share it here soon I have several wagons built in that scale. I’ll probably Custom make the cars in O Scale for these.That looks like it will build up into a nice model Lee, are you anticipating doing a Circus train?
Tim thanks it is I always enjoyed building Circus equipmentLooks like a fun build Lee.
Yes I can imagine Rick. There’s a Big O scale one the same way in Branson Mo at the School of the Ozarks I can spend hours looking at it. Between that display and Don Mills talking to me about the circus made me go into O Scale.There's a member on the French 1-87 scale forum I visit that has an entire Circus.....Tents, animals, performers, trucks, wagons.......the whole "Shebang"!! Quite impressive and extremely detailed. It's one of those projects that is never done...always something to add.
Well I meant the circus part of O scale. I did chose to go to O Scale because of my eyes and arthritis in my hands. I still like building the Circus wagons in HO maybe I’ll post some. Don Mills and I would talk for hours about the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus he is a head full of knowledge on them. I just talked to him today and made a order for more Circus parts and made sure he’s ok.That's funny about Don Mils....usually folks go into O scale coz HO scale makes their eyes hurt!
Have you made one yet? If not maybe it’s time too but seems I remember you doing a chow wagon. I have so much HO circus stuff to build all the ideas Don Mills helped me to create I’m overwhelmed. Glad I put them in boxes so in know what they are. Maybe after this I’ll attempt a HO Circus Craftsman kit. I’ll try to post pics of what I have done far in HO Circus equipment soon.Wehrmacht during the war and were put to use as Medical, Maintenance and Chow wagons.
Lee, the Chow trailer was based on a construction "worksite" trailer I picked up some time ago. The circus wagons are similar but equipped with different wheels etc. Might have to consider a project involving these wagons down the road.Have you made one yet?
