Oil and Horses do Mix

Hauling fuel for the masses via horse power for my Pulp Games.  My granddad used a wagon like this to supply his country customers in Central California well into the late 1930's, said it was cheaper to take care of the horses than mantain a truck . lol

very nice - is it 20mm or 1/56 scale?
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

The box didn't specify scale but it works best with 20mm or as a background piece with 25/28mm figures.  The hat on the drivers seat is from Perry's American Civil War plastic infantry which are called 28mm scale but look smaller.
