A quite deep-boxed 'prairie schooner' or covered-wagon,
which has long slots for the cover to attach to the body instead of the plugs
most other makes use, along with the nice touch of the first tilt-hoop being
left bare.
I'm sure I've mentioned a draw-bar and
horses here before (when I was asking for the translation on the SGDG mark) and it
seems to be the same as these, with the skinny copies of Beton horse.
A fine stagecoach; this particular model
was heavily copied (in Hong Kong and elsewhere) in the same size (sub-50mm),
with further piracies getting down to 30-odd mm. We looked at a JTC (probably HK not Japan) copy here and it also seems to have provided
the model for Blue Box's team on
their little red and brown wagons (ex-Crescent)
in the small scale.
Brian's Berserker shows us how much smaller
these are to start with! Interesting to note that the coach figures have
plug-on hats (which always look a bit Mexican, especially on the copies) while
the wagon figures seem a little better in the sculpting department?

Check your E-Mail Matey..I´ve sent pics of a maker not on your list.
Since you posted this I found an on-line reference that says this is 'APS-Politoys Texas' brand made in Italy?
Does anyone have further information?
That'll be them Terra', they did like a bit of plug-in action! I think I posted a couple here ages ago?
