About Me
- Bob Cline
- I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

Yes, it is one of the Gentry Twins but this one as it now appears is how it looked on King Bros in the fifties.
Though slightly altered at the back end and adapted to be pulled by truck, this is the ONLY surviving purpose-built (as the British so aptly state) calliope wagon. This was on the loose for many years and I often wonder why Chappie didn't go after it for CWM.

Does anyone know where this calliope lives now?
Matt,
I'm pretty sure its in the wagon sheds behind the Performance arena in Peru.
