King of the Cowboys

February 14, 2018 / Lowell Smith / Comments Off on King of the Cowboys
Years ago when Barb and I met Roy Rogers Jr. “Dusty” as he is known, it was a very special moment.  Being able to include this name in our Great American Circus and Wild West Show is just a treat! It is a shame most kids today do not know of Roy Rogers. Time moves on and names like Roy Rogers are part of our history in ‘growing up’. I watched Roy, his horse Trigger, and his gang all-the-time. It was the early days of television. Do you remember?
This trailer is the second release and is the Atlas 40-foot #102. The under frame and detail is Micro-Trains, with the wheels and tractor from Trainworx. Speaking of ‘King’, I think Pat at Trainworx is ‘King of the Trucks’! I am sure you will agree that he has redefined what a quality highway truck is in N Scale! My Great American Circus release #29 “How the West Was Won’ was so successful that I just had to ask Pat for another release. And, what a beauty it is!  GAC truck #7 pulls trailer #102 on Micro-Trains flat car #25 (image shown is #24). The Micro-Trains flat car is the only piece needed before this releases. I have all the other parts!

I just love this circus series and by your response, you do as well!
Current release ‘The Pie Car’ is available. Don’t forget to feed your clowns!

My kids absolutely love the Christmas cars! The C.K. Holiday, along with the Carolwood and Disney cars makes a wonderful Christmas train. It made many a loop under our tree this year.

I have never been treated as graciously and in a manner more suited to a VIP in my life, as I was on our train trip.  It’s obvious how you’ve made your life a success story.  Looking around the train and seeing your friends I’m pretty sure they  were all made to feel very special by you, and your…
