Title: Toy stagecoach
Post by: bandit86 on October 28, 2017, 07:18:55 AM

I found this old toy stagecoach and was wondering how you feel about the size.  When I place a figure with it and in it, it look about right. What do you think?

Great find! It appears a little large, but not so much so that I wouldn't use it. How are the wheels with it?

regards, Bill

Agreed, a little large, but I think likely usable.  Let us know how you get on with it!

Still looking for the wheels that go with it, I have other wheels though. I guess it was made for 54mm originally.  I got the 1st layer of paint on it and getting ready to make the interior,  Ill keep you posted.

If you need some help with the interior here are some pictures of an actual Wells Fargo coach in their bank in Sacramento CA. These are sitting on my blog, hopefully you will find them useful.

As I explained to you on another forum, that is a reproduction Marx Playset stagecoach.
It is 54 mm and way too big for 28 mm figures.

I agree, it looks too big to me too. I wouldn't expect to be able to stand upright inside or the door being as tall as that of a room or railway carriage.

Too large but who cares, it will be ok on the table.

And the horses? A pair of proper 28mm horses could be placed inside that one...
