World circus wagon model
I have had the kit for this sitting around for years. Do not recall where I got it but it had no instructions and no identifying box so I do not know the manufacturer. The primary value to this kit was some nice cast metal sides and ends. I used some on-line photos to figure out how to build it, and paint it.
I added some flags on the top to approximate the flags on the prototype. This wagon joins 5 others I built long ago when I was infatuated with circus models. They are just decorations on a shelf on the wall. At best I will use them as loads on flat cars on the layout.
Great job. My husband & I love all trains (big & small). I look forward to following your blog and hope you will check out ours on the 1st post about our N scale model RR. http://retireforthefunofit.wordpress.com.
