CIRCUS TIME: K-Line K6900-04 Tableau Wagon Kit - Green Sides with Gold Scrollwork

Although the tooling for this kit goes back to the '50s and was originally sold as the "Lion and Gladiator Tableau Wagon", my introduction to this was as a K-Line wagon from back in the mid-to-late '90s. This one was packaged in a header bag as an easy-to-assemble kit. As you'll see in future posts, these plastic wagons were produced in a myriad of color combinations by a variety of manufacturers - and I luv 'em all! :-) This particular one has: green seats and sides; gold top and ends and scrollwork; and silver bottom and running gear (I chose not to include the wagon tongue in this photo essay). K-Line was the only maker that also offered these as already built up. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

These photo's were culled from the Internet and show the real-life inspiration for the toy. The two aren't exactly the same but you can clearly see the resemblance.



the Lion and Gladiator wagon was built for Mugivan and Bowers by Sullivan and Eagle of Peru, Indiana
