In MDK's earlier years they did offer circus trains and accessories, but they were still just a re-seller of Lionel and other companies products. In 1992 K-Line offered it's first circus train set under the K-Line banner and in the 1995 catalog they offered a train set which included a few figures and accessories that were from the old Marx tooling. It was only a small smattering of people and such - nothing to brag about - but it was a start. I have a break in my catalog collection but by 1998 they had started selling header bags sets like the ones we've been featuring here, as well as separate sale circus wagons. This bag contains just three poses, and is not the complete range of acrobat and clown figures Marx had produced during the '50s. It could very well be that not all of the tooling survived and K-Line made do with what they acquired. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
