The past two or three years the show has participated with several other State Line O Scale modellers and at the request of the Mayor, our display is in City Council chambers.
As is our practice, it's up to children of all ages to notice some of the sight gags.
In the past two or three years, the collection of college mascots in the menagerie has expanded.
The Circus World Museum in Baraboo has a short orange wagon with monkey bars in the ceiling, and if you look closely, there is a monkey hanging from the monkey bars. Yes, some people did contort themselves to get a closer look into the wagon and see that yes, indeed, there's a set of monkey bars up there.
The circus train continues to draw interest from model railroaders. The locomotive is a Saginaw bronze casting from before the War, fitted with brass wheels and a modern transmission, and the onboard power and sound are now working.
Next up, the big Chicago area O Scale show in another week.
