I recently purchased a Williams Set. It came boxed in Williams boxes. AA F-7s with a combine, two coaches and observation. Engines numbered 410. Color on everything yellow and red. The F-7s were 1984 with twin motors, electronic reverse in power unit. The other unit a dummy. Does anyone have any info on this set. From what I read Williams did not make it.
Thanks

Could be a repaint? What is the road name on the Williams box? K-Line made some circus sets, too.
Could you post some pictures, please?
Ok, I'll try for pictures.
The cars came in a Williams 4 car master carton. Says 'Special Circus four car set.
The engines came in Williams master carton with info marked out except for 'SET'
Could it be that pleasant valley process decorated the set? They did the Weaver masonic train.
The weaver Set was done in the 1990's or early 2000's. This Williams(?) set was done prior to 1986. After that the passenger car trucks were from Korea and much superior to the original ones. The F7's are from the 1984 upgrade to traction tires and electronic reverse. They are also prior to the 1990 move to Korean trucks with Lionel style pickups.
I have seen several Weaver Masonic sets on the market over the years. I have only seen one other Circus set like this one. Someone did these sets, probably purchasing the stock from Williams and then doing the painting. Question is who?
