More photos of this morning's circus train...
A shot of one of the rides, folded and stored for transport. The 28' pup trailers on the next flat actually were hooked together and to the tractor as they would be on the road. For those looking to build HO scale models of them, adding the roof hatches and underbelly storage boxes to a set of Herpa/Con-Cor pups should make a very close replica. The ride trailer, however may take a little more effort.
Another interesting pair of trailers, especially the one on the right. Notice that they are hooked up to each other.
I believe that this is the end car, with the ramps used to load/unload the train. The tractor would then be used to help move the heavy ramps into position. The yellow devices are probably used to support the ramps when in use.
Both of these trailers were converted from old shipping containers. Like most of the trailers, they both have dollies at the front so that several trailers can be moved at once by one tractor to save time setting up. And, like most of the trailers, they are hooked up together on the flatcar they share. As I said before, there were several of those Mack "R" tractors among the trailers.
