Furphy and Ambulance wagons are coming says young Andy plus mounted officer and we suggested swivel heads for the mounted figures like the US cavalry which Andy didn't say no to. So probably next year......

Interesting Wikipedia article; A furphy is Australia slang for an erroneous or improbable story that is claimed to be factual. Furphies are supposedly 'heard' from reputable sources, sometimes secondhand or thirdhand, and widely believed until discounted. The word is said to derive from water carts designed and made by a company established by John Furphy of J. Furphy & Sons of Shepparton, Victoria. The steel and cast iron tanks were first made in the 1880s and were used on farms and by stock agents. Many Furphy water carts were used to take water to Australian Army personnel during World War 1 in Australia, Europe and the Middle East. The carts, with "J. Furphy & Sons" written on their tanks, became popular as gathering places where soldiers could exchange gossip, rumours and fanciful tales – much like today's water cooler discussion.

Thanks guys for all your positive comments and 'likes', it is this aspect that makes this hobby so enjoyable for me and keeps me motivated.
The new upcoming mounted officer will need to push his way to the front of the column some how.{sm4}
