World of Mirth from Ed Tracy
It was mentioned last week that by the early 1960's the show was repainting everything into a red, white and blue stripe pattern. These photos are from 1962.
I always liked this color scheme, but my Dad always said he missed the bright orange wagons. I just wish I could still see them in any color, those were the days.
Randy, Bob Goldsack put out a book on the World of Mirth with a great deal of history in it. Unfortunately, mine is in storage. Maybe someone else can look and see if there is a 1962 loading list in it. I'm just guessing that one set of flats is already unloaded. It sure doesn't look like much room for a pull over team does it?
