The boys in the  shops have been doing circus wagons for a while and determined that circuses and carnivals just can't pull up to an outlet and start the show.  They need power.  Most shows would have more than one generator/power wagon.  I can remember these units at the county fair when I was child.  A couple of things I remember was the diesels sounded like they were running wide open and were very loud.  There were also cables snaking everywhere.   This is one of most ambitious models we've designed so far.  These can be built a number of ways.  Check the pictures.  The first version is what we call riding. All of the doors are sealed up for travel on the circus train,  admittedly it hides all the detail of the diesels and generators, but that would be prototypical.  A variation of that would be all of the doors off to show the diesels and generators.  It's not prototypical but dang it looks cool.  The last version is with the doors open.  This would be typical when in use.  Each model comes with two roof sections one with two mufflers and the other with one if the user chooses to only use one diesel/generator set.  This unit has the connection panels in the center  of the wagon.  It's designated unit 1.      It will look great in a circus parade ( well maybe not,  this is a utility wagon but it has to get to the circus lot somehow) ,  scene or riding a circus train. 


Back in the 80's I walked into a video store (if you don't know what this was, ask your grandad) , I was looking for a movie for the night and came across The Greatest Show on Earth. I checked it out was amazed by the circus train wreck sequence.  Being in HO scale at the time I started buying anything circus I could find.  This was before Ebay so it was tough.  Anyway 40 years later I'm in N scale and still love that movie.  As a matter of fact a friend of mine who did Hollywood special effects including the Terminator series,  did a frame by frame analysis of the footage.  Obviously the models were much larger than N scale.  Since I can do 3-d design now  I've been doing a lot of circus models.  These are all printed and unpainted.  You can paint and decal for any circus you like most of these are based on Ringling Bros equipment.  I'll be adding more as time permits.  Some flash removal is required, Some models will require basic assembly.  Each listing is for one item unless otherwise specified.  Pictures with painted trucks  are N scale. 

 

 


Since most modelers like to buy more than one item,  I'm glad to combine shipping.  You should never pay more than $5.99 in total.  With that said, you can request an invoice or contact me to make arrangements to adjust shipping.
