Me and the family decided to visit LarkSpur Train Shop again and I was excited to see what they had. As it turned out they had several new pieces including two gorgeous steam locomotives and some really interesting buildings. I ended up buying some stuff including an entire circus scene, a Hershey box car and some cork road bed. All great additions to the layout in my books.

Never thought the layout would get a circus. Now you need a circus train smt.

Hello from Germany. My English is so bad, so I use a free program - I hope you can read in English what I mean in German! ;-) In minute 6:45 you can see a fall platform that was used to supply locomotives with coal. Of course, these crash platforms could only be erected where the topography allowed it. In addition, this type of coaling is personnel and material-intensive and originated from the early days of steam locomotive coaling. The coal wagons, which were delivered to the coaling level, had to be unloaded by hand, shoveled into the hunt and then either unloaded by crane over the coal box of the locomotives or poured directly into the tenders using the chutes. The model is manufactured by Pola No. 671 for H0 gauge and No. 216 for N gauge.

I love my Bachman silver series rolling stock. They are lacking detail, but they are very good cars. My cabinet is full of them

It’s funny you mention the train station that was turned into a model restaurant. That’s the Atlas Roadside Inn, which shares tooling with their Suburban Station Kit.

Send in the clowns...
Harrison, I believe your viewers are most likely steaming with anticipation about the mystery purchase. In addition to that, I hope you didn't pass on the Atlas BNSF.
As for the circus, you're going to have to add another layout branching off the Mainline as a circus back in the day was typically held in a field outside of town. And you may want to add a small carnival including a ferris wheel into the mix.
Thanks for sharing. 👍 👍 👍

Nice haul! It’s getting close to that time of year! The best time for trains!

Wonderful memories with this Lark spur visit! I live in Montreal's West Island but visited Lark Spur many many times when visiting family in Merrickville. They have passed on now, and we have not been in several years. In fact my 'dive' into DCC began there back in 2003, purchasing about 20 decoders to convert non-DCC locs... Great memories.-CL

This is award winning. All that was viewed is a winner! The circus scenery looks like IHC, you got a gem. I wish I had a hobby store like this in my tri- state area. Way to go. 👍🙂

Super great buy on that circus, I would bet the people and animals alone on that display would be way more expensive than that.

Thanks for sharing, great deals on houses and that circus. That hotel looks like a Howard Johnson's. You can never have too many Hershey box cars!

That arch bridge is gorgeous!!! And the circus? Wow! What detail...and what a price! Now you have to make room for it on the layout. Good luck with that! And you'll have "the elephant in the room". All that roadbed...FREE?? Can't beat THAT price!! All in all, a great tour video, Harrison.
