Sorry, I cannot remember who here specifically asked me for the Warren Flat car used in the Circus but I have now acquired kits for Both the Warren and the Mt. Vernon "steel" flats as well as the Elephant car. You can find them here http://stonebridgemodels.com/circus/circus.htm?c=rolling

Karin, I'm having trouble seeing the thumbnail photos on the menu page.

I'm actually having trouble seeing anything below the first inch or so on any page.  Everything was fine the last time I visited the site a week or so ago.

Zzz... Huh? I was sleeping.
What happened...?


Two scientists create a teleportation ray, and they try it out on a cricket. They put the cricket on one of the two teleportation pads in the room, and they turn the ray on.
The cricket jumps across the room onto the other pad.
"It works! It works!"

Hi Karin,

Thanks for the update. Order is on the way.

Your web site does not show the circus wagons that I purchased at the Medford convention last summer. Will they be available in the future? I am interested in additional wagons.

Thanks,  Rick

That's just a bad link on the Warren Flat.

If these are the same cars I believe they are, the rivet detail is actually inverted relief. Are they?
Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Not working for me in Firefox today for some reason.  Works in IE though.  I probably have to reboot to clear it up.

Hi Rick, 4 of the wagon kits are oh so very close to be released. In fact all the parts are packaged, instructions written, but I need to build one for the catalog photo. Here is a sample of one of them, the instructions anyway. And thank you for your business!

The bigger now works for me . Love the 3 top prototype cars and ordered them . Now we are talking circus . By the way I drove my son to a dental surgeon in Elmhurst Queens last Monday ( This Monday was my turn with a surgeon fixing a meniscus tear under my left kneecap ) . While I was waiting for him on a dead end street off of Woodhaven Blvd I looked in my rear view and about 100 feet behind me is the LIRR . Many trains , much ho-hum , but then a diesel sound which were 2 MP15AC's ( Atlas , do these please ) going east with about 20 Red lettered Ringling Bros passenger cars . My guess is the were headed to the Nassau Coliseum .

Thanks, Karin,

These look great and a bit simpler to assemble than the sparkling stars models. I have assembled the Mt. Vernon flat and yes they do have inverted rivets, but look great when painted. I will need to address the weight issue after the wagons built and loaded. Looking forward to building these.

Thanks so much! Rick

I'm a 'Warren' Guy, literally, it's named after our town and I want to make a train of these for a display in our local historical society museum.  I'll order a couple to see how this goes.  Thank you!

Making one is easy , but making 10 isn't ten times as easy . I guess the Atlas pups would be the bones , as for a tongued duel I think somebody made them for intermodel use , bet they still do . The high window or vent doors could be fabed from BLMA diesel doors . Paint it silver and have a beer , or make your eyes bleed looking for decals . Now what to name my 3 ring circus .... what has 3 rings ?
