I would Also like to Make Model Carnival & Circus Trains Based on the Circus & Carnival Trains that are on the Rails .

In N Scale & Ho Scale O scale , G Scale.


Carnival & Circus Trains are really Neat.

IN Europe is there Any circus & Carnival Trains Over There like In North America?



For a Independent show have Circus Side Shows that will, include the Human Cannonball , Clowns ,Jugglers , Fire eaters
Human Volcanos, Human Pretzels ,Sword Swallowers.

For the Carnival Train it would be really Cool.

The circus is in Charlotte NC this week. Does anyone know where the Circus Train is located and where one might go to get some good photos of it without getting in trouble with the railroad police?
