Here it is, on the left side of the back table on my Upstairs Standard Gauge Layout.
Three rings (complete with real sawdust!), many Clowns and Circus workers, peep attendees in wooden seats, and many animals. Even a High-wire tightrope walker! My 2nd custom-made reborn (by Don Kelly) , an original 1930s Lionel Pullman is now Circus CEO and Head Clown Mrs. Button N. Bows’ PRIVATE CAR. In gorgeous purple and black livery with gold trim. The front Lionel coupler has been swapped for an Ives one to hook it up to the rest of the MTH Ives Circus train consist. The red Circus wagon was a redone LGB Mr. Pustifix bubble blowing car I found on eBay. I had circus font decals made and then printed with white ink, applied and a glitter spray added. The tightrope walker is a Britains Clown figure walking on heavy wire. Tillie the Hippopotamus is a scene stealer and has flopped herself under the tightrope to steal the act’s thunder. The Circus veterinarian and her trainer are trying to get her to move. Finally the crane has been brought in to remove her! The attendees include myself taking photos, and my dd with the blonde braids is sitting in the front row.
