While Lionel had circus train sets featuring operating stock cars and gondolas, K-Line was the first to offer a ready-to-run flat car specifically designed to hold wagons and mimicking real world circus flat cars. When Lionel acquired the tooling and rights to the K-Line name, they continued to offer flat cars but this time under license with the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
These wagons were built-up at the factory so it's interesting to note that the ends on this wagon were assembled wrong. The open end has to be in back by the steam boiler. That gave the attendant a way to shovel coal into the boiler. On the left is a correctly assembled wagon, on the right the wagon from this flat car
