I Need Clowns

en4cer · October 09, 2011, 10:01:57 AM

I need to find some clowns that will fit into the boxcars of the Emmit Kelly Carnival Train that Bachmann sells. So far my searching has gotten me nowhere, I find clowns that are either too small or too large. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find the clowns I need?

Hobbie line inc has a few in 1/29 http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/ari/ari62006.htm here is the link if you want it, I know the scale is off a bit but maybe their short clowns. Hope this is some help....Later All.....S.B.

Some seated passengers for the J/S Coaches would be a great idea. Anybody know where to get them?

currently over 60 listings for seated figures on eBayranging in scale from 1:22.5 to 1:32 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=seated+&_sacat=19151&_odkw=seated+figures&_osacat=19151&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 hope this is some help...S.B.

Hi, Clowns you say, you should come over here to the UK my company is full of them, place is run like a circus.
regards Casey.

ps. A company that starts with A and ends with craft do a nice range though smaller,
if you use perspective and don't put them next to larger figures that would work.
have fun.

I'm sure you know this and want the clowns for a whimsical look but I will mention that clowns are not clowns until showtime...

Thanks for the ideas and links, I will research those. What we do is run the carnival train at train shows so having the clowns looking out from one of the boxcars is an idea one of our club members had. I'll pass on the thought that clowns are not clowns until showtime.

Also perfect for halloween giving; http://www.homies.tv/homieclowns/index.html

Last summer i acquired a couple dozen at 25c ea. planning on giving one to each kid along with bag of hawkins cheezis
Earlier a local shop was selling cards of 8 figures for $1ea should of thought of the halloween angle back then

Keeping a set for the railway of course they'll occupy different abandoned bldgs along the r/w over the next few yrs

OH yes they maybe a little short in stature but so are a lot of people in the reeeeal world !!

nite,
