This is the Tinplate Shop castings. The Woman in the Shoe pony float is captured here in O Scale as a complete kit including the undercarriage, frame, wheels, and of course, the Shoe. I have this in my Circus Store at http://www.thecircusworld.com/

More 1/2" Scale models

This Mt. Vernon Flatcar is all made out of brass and sequin pins as the rivets. Each one is drilled and soldered. These are the old aluminum wheel sets that Johnny Lower was selling. I just bought some wheel sets from Karl Kruger in NY last year that are real nice also.

For My CMB Friends

This is some of the Circus World Museum Schlitz Circus Train I started building in 1/2" scale. This particular warren flatcar is made out of brass with all the rivets being individually drilled and soldered. I broke a bunch of miniature drill bits. More photos tomorrow.

1/2" scale

I carved this one at home at night. Around 1977, I think.

1/2" scale

I carved this during my lunch breaks while working for the city of St. Petersburg, Florida back around 1977 I guess.
