Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus Train

I have always been a fan of the Ringling Bros. Barnum and Bailey Circus train going down to the rail siding when it pulled into El Paso. I had looked high and low for replicas of the cars in ready to run for my own N-scale layout. I found both passenger and flat cars in other scales but never in N-scale. So I set out to scratch build my own train. I had some old smooth sided Santa Fe passenger cars that resembled the cars I found in pictures of the Ringling Bros. circus train online.
