DESCRIPTION:The Model Circus Trains Are Back!  \nEvery Saturday this September!\n10 AM – 5PM \nSee our popular O-Scale train (over 60’ long) will consist of animal cars\, passenger\ncars\, and special circus flat cars\, each loaded with hand-made special circus\nwagons plus a Parade thru “Hamline” and wagon unloading show on the “big”\nlayout. \nAdditional layouts will each feature Circus trains and / or displays in their own scale.\nThis  event is inspired by Circus World Museum in Baraboo Wisconsin. \nNext Circus event April 2023! \nCo-sponsors: Ring 80 of Circus Model Builders. \nWhat are Circus Trains? \nCircus trains began in the 1870s\, by replacing the shows that moved by slow animal-drawn wagons.  Over the years these trains grew in length as the train cars switched from wood to steel construction.  Circus trains typically consisted of three types of cars: large animal cars\, flat cars loaded with colorful wagons and passenger cars for the workers and performers.  They were usually found in the train in that order.  Circus cars were generally longer than normal freight cars because the railroads charged by the car & mile.  They were painted very colorful to attract attention.  The greatest number of circus trains operated between 1920 and 1950.  Over those years many merged and others went broke. \nOur O-Scale train was inspired by the “Circus World Museum” in Baraboo\, Wisconsin. The museum has a very large collection of train cars\, wagons\, events\, and other circus collections for you to see.  Our train features models of many of these wagons faithfully modeled in O-Scale.  O-Scale works out to 1 to 48 and ¼” equals 1 foot. \nOur Circus Train reenacts this operation on our large O-scale layout with an operating Circus Train\, several displays and a Parade staged in one of our towns. \nAdmission \nAdmission to this special event is included in the Museum’s regular admission price of $10 per person\, Children 4 and under are admitted free of charge. Family and group rates are available! \n \nCircus Train History\nTo learn more about the history of circus trains\, visit our Circus Trains page.
