Hallmark Ornament "Circus Mountain Railroad"
By Howard Wyman

I happened to stop in a Hallmark Card Shop this past week and they have
an interesting ornament for this holiday season.  It is called "Circus
Mountain Railroad".

There is a 3-car circus train which you can make go forward or backward
with a control knob.  Above that there is a rotating carousel, and to
the left is a circus tent under which three elephants are pulling
circus wagons.  The train, the carousel, and the elephants with wagons
all move.

Below the control knob for the train there are three buttons labeled
Circus, Train, and Calliope.  If you press the Calliope button it plays
"Jingle Bells".  The calliope sound is not too accurate.  If you press
the Train button you hear the chugging sound and the whistle.  If you
press the Circus button you hear the animal sounds.
