Buckles,
Here are a few photos from the New York state fair this year. We got there late and didn't get to catch the unloading of Strates Show train. I was told there are 52 flats and 8 coaches, over a mile long in total. Elaine, Isabel and Tepa standing by one of the coaches.

Looks like they updated this train a little. Last time I saw it about 5 years ago they were not allowed to go over 35 miles an hour. I passed it three times one day going down the road. Stopped twice just to let it pass and take in the view of equipment. Looks great much better and with the price of gas for a show this big.

Zych,
With Adam, and the mechanical skills I have taught him helping, give her a day and a half.

Tavana,
I am assuming it will be different then what we have seen her do down the track with a bear. I know her partner, and a collar and rope might be useful. LOL And yes, it will be something.
