Circus set

[fhenn]

Hate to be a pest, but I was going through the attic looking to see how much brass track I had up there, and ran across a Emmit Kelly Jr. Circus set, any Idea when this was made? I guess I thought it was neat because I ran across two more tenders for this and another cage car. Also a logging car with logs..I looks as if I might have the rolling stock down for the Garden railroad. I guess is the Circus set to valuable to play with? Thank You

Hi there were several  circus sets made.

One is the Big Top Set electric powered,

second is the Big top set battery powered

Third is the Ringmaster Set

Fourth was the Roustabout set

None of these sets is very valuable, as they were renrun over and over again by Bachmann  The EK Circus line was one of the best sellers they ever had.

I have seen them sell on Ebay complete in the box for as low as $40 and as high as $139 depending on the bidding competition.
