  • This is a day time video of my HO Scale Model Carnival display I built. The display is 8' X 8' with about 60 to 70 moving models and numerous game, food, and backend joints. Also there are transport trailers for the rides, bunk house trailers for the workers, generator trailers with light towers on top, semi tractors, racked rides, custom show offices and custom living quarters for the show owners, all on the display. I used 4 MP3 players with speakers with different carnival sounds recorded live back in the 50's from the midway of one of the grand traveing carnivals of all time, Royal American Shows. I also have a custom contoller to operate all the functions of the display. The contols are built into a custom made wagon made to look like one of the old Show trailers that was loaded on a flat cars when many carnivals traveled by train. The lighting is mostly 12 V grain of wheat lights (clear, green, yellow, red & blue) along with custom EL lighting and special LED lighting.

      @@skywheel52 is this HO scale? We have G scale trains. My son is 6 and we recently bought him a circus train and we've been adding to it. We currently use fisher price carnival/circus toys, however I would like to start purchasing more realistic pieces for his layout once we set up our garage as his train room. Ive been looking at Lemax but I think it is O scale. I am new to this.

      vegasdavetv There is an assortment of models that were in different stages when I got them. Some were finished models, some were partially built & I completed them, some were fabricated & I assembled them & did the paint schemes, some were kits I built, kit bashed, & some were scratch built. I did a good bit of the paint schemes. The support trucks & trailers I painted & did the graphics in water slide decals or on photo paper that I cut out & used a glue stick to attach. I did all the grass, walkways, shrubs & trees.

      Many of these rides appear to be from Cummons Scale Amusements in Michigan USA. The Skydiver and Zipper in this video appear to be theirs although they discontinued the Skydiver. Another company RAH Models in Minnesota sells kits you can put together of both the Skydiver and Zipper, but they will need extra work to make them run as they do not come with motors.
