@singingbirdcages It was fairly widely known at the time. I *think* he may have mentioned it when my mother hired him to do some TV spots for a North Carolina bank - Wachovia, i think - in 1966 or '67.
Wish i'd known that his daughter was working at WRNG radio here in Atlanta the time i was on one of their talk shows; i'd have made it a point to see if i could talk to her and ask her.
@sorryosaurusrex It needs 2 locos to pull all that wieght. The extra car at the end is under construction and will be put in line when finished. it is easier to remove to be worked on when it is at the end
@tardisious I'm trying to get the zebra stock car from the EMMETT KELLY JR CIRCUS but I can't find it anywhere. :(

@shossni That depends on the condition and how many cars the train set has.

Emmett Kelly jr was an opportunistic jerk cashing in on his estranged father's good name.
I'm not sure if he even ever really knew his father.
Kelly sr could have taken legal action to stop him, but neither wanted no needed the bad publicity.

@fairportfan2 did you know Sr or something? I collect Sr's oil paintings but never heard of such a rumor.

Nice train, but, why does it have two locomotives, and an extra car after the caboose?
