This whole circus thread more-or-less started with the K-Line circus wagons I bought in the 1990s when first getting into the whole circus thingie. Since then of course I've learned a bit more - not a lot more, just a little bit. Except for the Bear Cage Wagon posted yesterday these are my original purchases from back in the day. As said before, the tooling for these goes back a long time and they are still being produced. As the whole circus thread on the blog progresses, we'll show you some other color combinations and packaging from the various manufacturers over the years. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Originally offered as a 'Steam Calliope', K-Line marketed it as a 'Calliope Wagon'
Originally offered as 'The Knights in Armor Band Wagon', K-Line marketed it as simply a 'band wagon'
Originally offered as the "Lion and Gladiator Tableau Wagon', K-Line marketed it as a Tableau Wagon
Originally offered as a 'Lion Cage Wagon', K-Line sold it as an animal wagon
Originally offered as a 'Bear Cage Wagon' I have no examples of this being sold by K-Line
The baggage wagon has retained its original designation through the years
