From Cris Berry

Frank Ferrante said...: Anyone know where the wagons are from? Or the Popcorn wagon, which looks like it came from Disneyland? ~frank; 08 June, 2010 10:00
Don said...: Some of the wagons are from Circus World in Baraboo. Many of the other props come from Chester Cable who has a warehouse full of circus and carnival equipment in Southern California that he regularly leases to film studios.

Frank Ferrante said...: Thanks Don & John -

On the movie 'Toby Tyler' there were a lot of circus wagons. I've heard that they were replicas built by the studio, if they were then they were spot on. Any other thoughts? ~frank; 10 June, 2010 09:43
