Good use of that wagon Steve, did not think about it could be a western one, but it fits well. Robin.

Thanks Robin, yep JJD did a good job on this wagon..

John does say in his blurb that the Conestoga wagon wasn't the type used a century later heading west as it's too heavy.
It's the nearest thing to one I have, so it does good duty standing in for one of those for me. I guess if I used other JJD wagons I might be able to form a circle to see those Injuns off !

Evening, Steve,
Well … that dern' thar' wagon looks a mighty fine ta' my eyes. That photo of Yellowstone works perfectly.
As normal, nice figure arrangement and interesting story.

By-the-way …. where are all those pesky Injuns' we keep hearin' about?

Thanks Larry. Perhaps K&C will bring one out sometime, or a chuck wagon, Stage coach etc.

Emilio of KP is working on his Stagecoach, Del Prado who Emilio did a lot of work for had their Far West range with a kit Stagecoach, which looked pretty good for anyone wanting one and I see sellers selling all the parts for it together as well as separately, though they'd have a hard time finding horses for it now as they seem to have disappeared.

Apart from a couple, those pesky Injuns are still in the Hills mate or in dealers stockrooms ! Just watch out for smoke signals !

Hello Steve,
Awesome diorama. The use of the Conestoga wagon in your diorama is legit. It was created by German immigrants in the 18th century near the Conestoga River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania to haul freight on bad roads. In the eastern US it was replaced by railroads. However in the western US it was used into the 19th century. It morphed into the "Prairie Schooner" and was used to transport household goods and people from Saint Joseph, Missouri in the westward migration. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Joe
