If there's one type of train that really gets people excited, especially little kids, it probably is circus trains. I mean, who doesn't like brightly colored freight cars carrying wild animals, performers and extravagant props?
What I notice is that the O gauge world is kind of lacking in circus train related product. Yes, there are some modified Lionel operating cars for circus themes, as well as some old K-Line product, but none of them are scale sized or detailed.
The only time I've seen beautiful O scale circus freight cars was on Ron Zweig's layout (who lives 30 minutes away from me, and it's now going down) that were custom made by Dave Reichart of Delaware. That was over 20 years ago.
Are there others in today's market who do the same in building custom circus freight cars?
