The Circus World Museum bought 6 of the Thrall flats from Royal American Shows. Four were never touched. Two were repaired and re-painted with # 231 seeing the most service. # 234 was repainted and ready to go again but never re-decked. # 234 was used from 1992 through 1999. # 231 saw the parade from 1992 through the last train ride to Milwaukee in 2003. I may be wrong, and I hope someone can straighten this out, but to the best of my knowledge, these are the only 6 Thrall flatcars still in existance and all of them are at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin.
