I've checked your blog but can't find who makes the metal horses you've used.

The look like a good fit with the Lledo carriages, would you mind sharing which ones you're using.

Thanks

They are Tiger Miniatures harness horses from their colonial line. I bought them from Recreation Conflict. http://www.recreationalconflict.com/

I've had an epiphany, and no, before you ask, it didn't hurt.

Well it's not specifically about the horse drawn vehicles so I'm not sure it's relevant here; it's more a realisation of why I never seem to get to grips with the hobby, despite being at it for 30 odd years.

The Lledo carriages can come in quite handy at a low cost. Here's one I converted to a Mariah:

Welcome to blog land Mark...how do we follow progress as there are no tabs ...forgive me if I have used wrong terminology.

Can I confirm that Leno horse drawn carriages are indeed the toys and not the pencil sharpeners some folks opt for?

Yes they are toys that come in boxes like these.

The images from the early posts here are not showing up.  I have written another article on Lledo horse drawn vehicles https://blackshawgaming.wordpress.com/2019/11/24/lledo-horse-drawn-models-for-28mm/ (https://blackshawgaming.wordpress.com/2019/11/24/lledo-horse-drawn-models-for-28mm/).
For horses I went with Reiver and Warbases.

Looks good. Your blog post was very useful and I will certainly follow your example. I would take issue with that Ford truck you used for comparison being 1/56 though- I have it myself and I make it 1/64.  But it doesn't alter the point you make- these diecast carts are a bargain.

Pity indeed, and you are a stalwart fellow for your efforts.

Funny how a search from a memory of a long ago thread becomes frustration when so much useful is missing.

Bully!
