Cole Bros. 1940 rolling stock #2

These wheels aren't quite what you expected to see on a circus wagon.
Historians of the day whined about this, probably the same way I do regarding the use of the GSOE logo on the Gold Unit today.

Whats left of this wagon, can be seen at Paul Kelly farm in Peru, Ind. I was there last Oct. not much left. Too bad.

I built an 1/4" scale model of this boiler wagon with the carnival type wheels. This wagon was also on the Robbins Bros Circus.

I saw this wagon, and others that were left, at Kelly's back in '95. I'm amazed Jim has seen it so recently. I won't be alone in wishing some miracle would preserve the last of the remaining remnants.
