DTSTART:20260901T150000Z DTEND:20260930T200000Z DTSTAMP:20260812T180700Z UID:4973-1788256800-1790780400@www.tcmrm.org CATEGORIES:arts,free DESCRIPTION:The (Model) Circus Trains Are Back in Town!  \nCheck out the Circus Trains during all open hours in April and September! \nSee our popu lar O-Scale train (over 60’ long) which consists of animal cars\, passen ger cars\, and special circus flat cars\, each loaded with hand-made speci al circus wagons plus a Parade thru “Hamline” and wagon unloading show on the “big” layout. \nAdditional layouts will each feature Circus tr ains and / or displays in their own scale.
 This event is inspired by Ci rcus World Museum in Baraboo\, Wisconsin. \nCo-sponsors: Ring 80 of Circus Model Builders. \nWhat are Circus Trains? \nCircus trains began in the 1 870s\, by replacing the shows that moved by slow animal-drawn wagons.  Ov er the years these trains grew in length as the train cars switched from wood to steel construction.  Circus trains typically consisted of three t ypes of cars: large animal cars\, flat cars loaded with colorful wagons an d passenger cars for the workers and performers.  They were usually found in the train in that order.  Circus cars were generally longer than norm al freight cars because the railroads charged by the car & mile.  They we re painted very colorful to attract attention.  The greatest number of ci rcus trains operated between 1920 and 1950.  Over those years many merged and others went broke.\nOur O-Scale train was inspired by the “Circus W orld Museum” in Baraboo\, Wisconsin. The museum has a very large collect ion of train cars\, wagons\, events\, and other circus collections for you to see.  Our train features models of many of these wagons faithfully mo deled in O-Scale.  O-Scale works out to 1 to 48 and ¼” equals 1 foot.\ nOur Circus Train reenacts this operation on our large O-scale layout with an operating Circus Train\, several displays and a Parade staged in one o f our towns. \nAdmission \nAdmission to this special event is included in the Museum’s regular admission price of $10 per person\, Children 4 and under are admitted free of charge.
