Title: Real Stage Coach Pictures
Post by: Heisler on 13 February 2014, 04:37:14 AM

In case you needed to know what a real stage coach looks like. This is a Wells Fargo Stage Coach in the lobby of a Wells Fargo Building in Sacramento CA.

Thanks! They are very colourful, and quite nicely painted - thats quite surprising, but better for modelling!

Vet useful.

Could these possible have been company colours for Wells Fargo?
Anyone know?

Great information. Thanks to one and all. Now I can assemble and paint that stage I bought over a year ago  ;)

I remember riding in one as a kid. It was at the original Rawhide Restaurant in Scottsdale. It was bumpy as all get out. Rode on top in the luggage rank and in the cab itself.

Wonder if they still do that since they moved?
