Well, if you look outside fall is here (and winter is coming this weekend!) which means its time for our Circus Days at the Twin City Model Railroad Museum! The event runs from October 12th-15th during normal hours. 

 

What are Circus Trains?

 

Circus trains began in the 1870s, by replacing the shows that moved by slow animal-drawn wagons. Over the years these trains grew in length as the train cars switched from wood to steel construction. Circus trains typically consisted of three types of cars: large animal cars, flat cars loaded with colorful wagons and passenger cars for the workers and performers.

 

Our Circus Trains reenact these operations on several of our layouts complete with parades in the streets and special exhibits including our Lego® three ring circus!
