O scale Barrel and Prop.Circus Wagon

[Lee Drennen]

Thought I would start another Circus Wagon.This one will be a Barrel and Prop. Wagon

Keep on like this Lee and you'll have the whole circus coming to town at a vacant lot near by. I figure these are horse drawn wagons, are there any critters and a live stock wagon in the future?

It’s been several years now since I messed with this one. While waiting to paint my Boxcar I stumbled across this one and decided to give it a start. This is as far as I got before calling it a night.

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. :thumb2:

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.

That's funny about Don Mils....usually folks go into O scale coz HO scale makes their eyes hurt! :tongue-out2: :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

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.

Good deal Lee....glad he's doing well. When I was a youngster, my favorite Circus was the one put on by the Shriners. They had the best Clowns I ever saw in my life! Hope you end up doing some Circus stuff. I have two packs of ROCO rail cars with Circus Krone wagons on board plus a few more boxes of Preiser Circus wagons as well. Quite a few of this type of wagon found its way into the Wehrmacht during the war and were put to use as Medical, Maintenance and Chow wagons.
