RINGLING BROS. AND BARNUM & BAILEY™ - 85' SMOOTH-SIDE COACH with LIGHTED INTERIOR – ADVERTISING CAR NO. 1 - HO Scale. The circus is coming to town! Long before the internet or even TV advertising, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey™ Circus needed a way of letting people know about the circus's arrival to generate ticket sales and interest ahead of the show rolling in. They would do this by sending out an "Advertising Car" a few days ahead of the circus itself, which would act as a billboard, sales office, and base of operations. Bachmann faithfully reproduces this classic car with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus logo. In the 1930's lighter weight materials allowed for the development and production of a variety of coach, baggage, and observation cars as railroads ushered in the beginning of the streamline era. Materials like stainless steel, and aluminum, allowed for passenger cars to have smooth or fluted sides and smooth roof lines. These passenger cars that are fully assembled with features that include; lighted interiors, Highly Detailed Painted Bodies with Precision Graphics, Blackened Machined Metal Wheels with RP 25 Contours, Magnetically Operated E-Z Mate® Couplers, Non-magnetic Blackened Brass Axles with Needle-point Bearings, Celcon Trucks, and Added Weight for Optimum Tracking Performance.
