When I saw the title I thought mis spelt means water cart but when I saw it in the post ,not sure now ?. If it is apart then possibly Essex miniatures they do loads of carts in 15mm.

Museum Miniatures or Hallmark (from Magister Militum) will also have suitable carts.

Gerard, Blue Moon 15mm/18mm makes a nice, very basic water cart for their French and Indian War (FIW) range of figures (15LOM161).  It would be fine for one of your colonial era collections (Sudan or Zulu War).  Richard

gerard,

Hope you aren't expecting to mix Blue Moon and Peter Pig too closely.  You'll find substantial size differences.  Both great ranges, however.  As to a good water cart, I have several Hallmark ones that are quite nice - used to be able to get with either spoked wheels or solid wood wheels.  They will mix nicely with Peter Pig.  Just in case you find the Blue Moon (and Lancashire as well) too big to mix.  Personally, I don't mind mixing them on the table in different units.  It's just a game, after all.  Why spoil our fun with purist-ism?

Hi,

This is the water cart I plan to use for my Zulu War British - http://www.museumminiatures.co.uk/images/wg17.jpg

Cheers,

Museum Miniatures has some great wagons - but that guy leading the wagon, he's big!  He'd be a true giant mixed with Peter Pig figures.

They have some really good wagons, but I don't use the miniatures suppled with them for the reason you mention. I replace them with a spare from the range I am using, in this case an Essex Miniature :)

This is a photo of a Museaum Miniatures wagon with my Essex Zulu War British.

Actually the wagon looks a little small in this photo, but it looked better in the flesh...

As Barry rightly says, the Museum Miniatures carter is a big chap. Here he is with a MM cart. That's an Irregular ECW dragoon in the background

the big lad front left is a Museum figure, as is the standard bearer. The others are QRF/Freikorps, Minifigs or Peter Pig. (http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa214/etranger_album/ECW/ECW0307070021.jpg)
