Since I had no appointments today in my musical instrument repair shop, I stayed home and worked on our circus train. I finished the Elephant Transport car. Photos are below. The interior of the Elephant Transport car is detailed with a weathered, plank wood floor covered in straw with a bail of hay for the elephant. Unfortunately, all of that is not visible in the photos. Only the elephant's tusk is obvious to prove that there is an elephant inside. I also put the first coat of paint on a second passenger coach and I am waiting for it to dry. Here are photos of the new Elephant Transport as well as other cars for the train.
My sincere thanks to forum member rattler21, AKA John for giving his blessing for me to use his design for the interior of the Elephant Transport. I also want to thank Corky, a former veteran clown with the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, and more recently known to us in the TCA as an Orange Hall vendor at the York shows for his kind permission for us to use his face on the sides of our Bungling Brothers Circus box cars.
