While looking through one of my circus books I came across this rig. This was from the 1940-50s era when may circuses were coming off the rails and switching to truck shows. Some switched back and forth. This is a single axle Chevy tractor pulling tractor designed for hauling canvas and poles for a tent. The model is unpainted comes with the trailer and pole load which goes on the top. It will look great in a
circus parade ( well maybe not, this is a utility unit 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.
