No all models are actually kits and available from Faller, a German manufacturer of houses, train stations, trees, etc. for model railroads. The displayed items are part of their zoo series and available in HO scale (1/87). www.faller.de . Walthers is one of the major distributors for Faller stuff here in the States. They also have a very interesting carnivale series with rollercoasters, ferris wheels etc. The main manufacturers for circus models (Circus Krone)in Germany are Preiser (www.figuren.de) and Herpa (www.herpa.de).
