I actually do remember those other 3 sets. But didnt recall the McCoy set.
Holy cow, Jerome, is there anything you don't have? Where do you keep all this stuff?
The original Tim McCoy circus had the following cars:
Passenger Cars-10 (I've got 4 more to paint and decal yet)
40 CHEYENNE
41 ARAPAHO
42 NAVAJO
43 COMANCHE
44 OSAGE
45 LAKOTA
46 BLACKFOOT
47 PAWNEE
48 APACHE
49 ADVERTISING CAR 1
Out of all of the Walthers Circus sets to collect, this is by far the most expensive and hard to come by. They come in a 4 boxed set (2 stock cars and 4 flat cars, plus a decal sheet and styrene logo sheet).
Finding them is the first trick, then getting them at a reasonable price is another. Make sure if you get a set it has the decals!! Those are very hard to come by and nobody will re-make them, I've tried!! The next expensive part is filling all of those flat cars!!
The passenger cars look great! I don't think I ever got any passenger cars for my McCoy Train, which kits did you use?
I used Athearn Heavyweight passenger cars.
Ain't that the truth! It takes 4 sets to model the whole train, I only have managed to get two so far. I missed one on Ebay in Nov
It took me over 3 years to collect the right number of cars for this set. Then somehow I ended up with 3 extras (2 flats and 1 stock car). They went fast on ebay though.
Walthers only listed 3 kits as specific for the McCoy, which other wagons are you using?
I used a little modelers license for the wagons. There isn't many made specifically for Tim McCoy's circus train.
This is some very useful information ( and good looking trains ) you've posted about the McCoy Jerome, thanks!
If the cars arrives with a box in good condition and the contents are all there and in good condition. Ill be very happy that I finally completed this set of circus cars.
