County Fair/Circus Suppliers?

Try to find an ERTL country fair set they are out there but kinda hard to find

they should run in the $40 to $50 range. You will need to paint the pieces to make it look

good. I am building a county fair for a layout for a friend, I'll take some pictures this week end and send them if you would like to see them.

I would. Thank you.

Stu,

 

Check out the line of amusement park and circus items offered by Mr. Christmas. Over the years we've purchased ferris wheels, roller coaster, animated circus, a starship ride and other animated accessories from this company.

 

We bought a lot of these items from a vendor at our local train shows but I believe you can also buy from them on the internet.

 

These were featured in Run #247 in OGR Magazine. 

 

I hope this helps.

Arttista make a whole series of circus people. You can purchase them either painted or the casting not painted and paint them yourself to save a few bucks.

Metal Figures has  a tent available.  I've seen their circus displays at different meets. IMO pretty nice.

Circus Craft used to make various items in "O" size. A number of various circus wagons, and packs of unpainted, movable arms, sitting figures are on eBay (search "circus craft").

Here are a couple of pix of the ERTL ferris wheel   and the merry go round

there are a lot of paint and extra parts added

Gem City makes some excellent o scale tents. Very nice quality. 30 inch tent is I believe $89.00. 48 inc tent &1.49. 

 Gem City is one of the Links above that I posted a few days back.
