I am a resident of Australia and have been attempting to collect HO Circus wagons and other accessories from the Walthers Series. Has any complete, definitive list ever been generated? All of my models have come from eBay and I keep seeing different ones every now and then. I am wondering what is/was available and the kit numbers (release dates would be good too). There is not much information on the net apart from 'for sale' notices and as you can imagine that doesn't help me much.
Thanks for that information. I tried that website. It is a very good resource. However, I still need information on any discontinued items and perhaps something more comprehensive.
Have you had a look at http://www.circusmodelbuilders.com/? It's a site dedicated to circus modeling and, although it may not have the exact information you want, you can probably find it in the links section.
Thanks for the information. I managed to get a few box/model numbers and model types from a couple of eBay sellers but am still trying to make a complete list.

Hi, circusjoe.
Thanks for the reply. That was some time ago I put up that post. Since then I have managed to collect all the Wagon kits and trucks. However a verified list to compare with the one I have generated would be invaluable. I am now endeavouring to compile lists of all the Wardie Jay and Circus Craft kits in HO (1/8 inch), O (1/4 inch)and in the case of Circus Craft also 1/2 inch scale. Once again I am making these up as I go from either buying the kits or seeing pictures on eBay.
Happy modelling,
Circusly,

I also have a fairly complete list as well but Joes is probably more complete, im missing a few numbers here and there. I have been collecting the numbers the last few months now thanks to ebay auctions to potentially obtain a collection for my Walthers Great Circus Train.
Actually. Your list is pretty good. I went through your entire list and compared it to mine and you have all the same things I have on mine too. Well, you actually had one item I didnt have on my list, I dont have any that arent on yours. So my sending or posting my list for you likely wont do you much good since they are essentially the same. I can still do it if you want.
Have you ever ordered anything from either of those vendors? I just spent over an hour surfing both websites to see what they have to offer. Some pretty good prices and Valley Model trains and an impressive selection I must say.
Chris, I've used 1st Place Hobbies a number of times and always had good service and fast delivery. I've never used Valley Model Trains so I can't help on that one.
