Number 8 - the Generator Truck


The purpose of the generator truck is to supply power to the show. This isa fine example of Dad's interest in the logistics of the circus. The generator is a far cry from the showier parade wagons, yet is critical to the daily operations of a truck show like this one.

The generator truck is assigned to tow the Gilly Wagon. The truck features a rear fold-out platform and roof, which design carried over to the real life Circus Kirk generator semi truck. The generator is a simple metal shell which I suspect is uncompleted, however notice the excellent detail on the roof exhaust penetration.


The truck needs a general cleaning, the platform is detached, and the right rear cornerpost is damaged. The cab is only detail painted on the right side. I also hope to install a more complete looking generator engine.

The last vehicle in the inventory is number 9, the spool truck. Coming soon, coming sure!
