N Scale Mt Vernon 72 ft Flatcar.

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. 

The circus traveled a lot by train and they used flat cars,  lots of them.  Based on my research in the 50's Ringling Brothers was using two types of flat cars. They were built by Mt Vernon and Warren.  The boys out in the car shop have come up with a model of each one.  These are a great starting point for super detailing or good 3 feet stand off models.  These are printed in two pieces are are a simple assembly.  I recommend painting the deck before assembly.  If you'll check the video these don't do bad on tight curves like on my home layout.  IMPORTANT NOTE  CIRCUS WAGONS AND EQUIPMENT AND FREIGHT TRUCKS  NOT INCLUDED. (I recommend Micro-trains Bettendorf  Trucks 003 10 021, that's what I'm using.  Some minor drilling may required for the pins.  These models are light when empty so pick up a few circus themed vehicles to give them some weight.  I've got new ones arriving every week.  

 These are 3 D prints that come unpainted (plastic colors may vary)  and may require some flash removal before painting.

 These were built to fill the gaps on the sellers own N Scale layout.  Comments and questions always welcome.  I gladly combine shipping on N Scale models.  Buy multiples items and get them all shipped for the same price.  Be sure to check out my other auctions.  I have fire, military, police, circus and misc trucks for sale.
