Real Stage Coach Pictures
« on: February 13, 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.






There are additional close ups of different areas, including the inside, on my blog:

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

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?
