Quote from: Loco Bill Canelos on November 30, 2025, 10:16:47 AMHi, The set is very old and there are no parts available.  Unless you can find a way to improvise you are out of luck. Some members I know just used another 4-6-0 to pull the circus cars.  some also painted the locomotive and tender black and parked it by their engine house as a non operating display item.

Alright thanks, what I feared. We now four or five of them (all of them at least 30 years old) and none of them work. I've said at this point if we want one that works, we're going to have a buy a modern example.

Hello, first post here:

Our club was recently donated a No. 90105 Emmett Kelly Jr. Circus train set. This is one of the old battery powered ones. One of the brackets that hold the backhead in place snapped off. Since we didn't have any plastic cement on hand, I set it off to the side to glue it back together at a later date. However it appears someone at the club threw it out, not knowing what it was. What is the part number for this and where could I obtain one?

Thanks,

Stephen
