The previously Blogged VT coach with it's not-correct driver at the back, in front are a
bunch of bits (from Micheal Melnyk I think?), sadly one of the pulling ropes is
damaged, so apart from coach-body, chassis or wheel colour swaps, I'm no nearer
a whole one!
In front of that is an Italian cheapie
version's horse team from Dario, these are closer to the French horses than the HK ones.
But at PW I got both a whole replacement
draw-bar and ropes (unbroken) and locating plug, and a lesser-quality/later-generation
open-wagon (sort of Giant scale-up),
the wheels are sized between the front and back wheels of the stage coach and
the figure, though the correct driver for all these wagons, is of too poor a
quality to use with my coach, but there are spare drivers in storage (and
hopefully - a few hats), if it has the same horses as the JTC one . . . they are a bit 'twee'!
So - when the two stashes are brought
together I should end-up with a boxed coach, a loose coach (complete), a loose wagon and a few
bits. All I need now are some poorer horses (I may have somewhere) and a
draw-bar & tilt for the open wagon, which - I fear - should be a covered
wagon like the one in the original 2009 post?
It's Hong Kong shite, but it keeps me sane
. . . sort of!
