This is the first car in an all new series from Micro-Trains—the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey™ Billboard Series! This 12-month series
will feature colorful representations of actual vintage posters used by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey to promote their shows. Each month a new vintage poster will be displayed across the side of our freight cars. The series will include 11 freight cars, one locomotive and a caboose.

Posters were an essential promotional tool for the circus. They were posted by the advance crew all over town and often up to 20 miles outside of the community weeks before the circus arrived. Thousands of these colorful and detailed advertisements were produced for each show and would range from single sheet flyers to large billboards for vacant fields or large buildings. This collectible freight car series will celebrate 11 special Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey posters, so get ready…the show begins this August!
