This is a start, still a few more to acquire. I'm thinking of painting a CMT Mogul in similar colors for power.

very nice!
Very nice. 
The last three flats/loads were not sold by TTOS but by McCoy directly. These cars do not say TTOS on the side but TPC. Bob McCoy told me that he only made 50 sets of these three cars.

I was not in TTOS until long after these were made. Do you recall why TTOS did not continue the series, causing the McCoy's to make the last couple of offerings under the TPC banner?

I think I know why but I don't want to post something on the forum that I don't know for sure. Ask me the next time that you see me in person and I'll tell you what I think. I have the original concept art for this train and it shows TTOS on all of the cars.
Very nice!
Will do Dave.

Steve,
Love the pics and your layout. I have often thought of picking up a few Mcoy pieces.
Thanks for sharing,
Joeg
Steve,
That sir is a great train, fantastic stuff!

I think it was TTOS politics that caused the circus train to be completed .Bob McCoy was willing to complete the set, and did complete it . Bob McCoy felt an obligation to do so to the members of the TTOS that started the set
typo correction. it should read TTOS not to complete circus train
Just completed 3 cars to add to my TTOS Circus train.

Those are real nice!

Very nice. Great work as usual.
Every Circus train needs a tent car.

I have the graphics if you have the junkers to paint. You need something to go with that yellow caboose.

Steve,
Don't have that train, just box her up, including the new cars and send her to Pa ASAP, simply fantastic as usual Steve. Should look great on the 4th level of my Christmas layout.

This will probably be the last edition to the custom rolling stock for my TTOS Circus Train. This gives me 9 pieces of rolling stock. Now for an engine and tender.
Gotta have a ticket wagon and a water wagon.
As I got it.
As it is now.

Steve,
Did you make the flat cars for the tent car and ticket wagon/water wagon car too?

The ticket /water wagon set is a repainted TCA set. The tent flat is a repainted regular McCoy Circus flatcar.
Steve
Very well done. I thought maybe you just used other extra TTOS flatcars. How did you get the design? Did you scan it from an original flat. They look great!
Joe, yes the y are scans of a "real" car side.
Steve
Steve,
Great job! Fantastic set!

PS. Anyone who has pictures of the non-TTOS blue and yellow circus cars made by McCoy, please post them.
PSS. Now I know who likely has been one of my competitor on ebay for those TTOS circus cars.
Here's a few recently on eBay
1982 TPC
1983 TPC
Not sure if there are any others.

David,
Fascinating! Did one of the McCoys draw the original concept art or was it someone else? If not one of the McCoys, who did it?
Bob Nelson
I don't know who did the artwork. Margaret McCoy donated it for a TTOS banquet auction and I was the high bidder.
All four cars...and, sorry, they are not for sale...
