Amish Wagons

[jrmueller]

Does anyone know of a source for Amish Wagons?  I wil be putiting together a section of layout depicting a small town in Lancaster PA where my wife's family lived.  I have not been able to locate anything from the usual sources.  Thanks. Jim

A few that I found

http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/jor/jor108.htm  This is a Jordans Model  also available from Model Train Stuff  http://www.modeltrainstuff.com/Jordan-HO-Horse-and-Buggy-Kit-p/jor-108.htm

http://www.dartcastings.co.uk/shire/S58.php  This one is from Shire Scenes and I'm pretty sure I've seen it on an American site aswell.

Thanks. The English model looks more appropriate.  What is OO gauge they show for horses?  Jim

OO scale is 1/76th , so they'll be a bit larger then HO , don't think you will be able to tell the difference, but to be sure I'd write them a mail.

Or maybe Mike"Madharry" can tell us if this will be a problem.

Never saw an Amish with Percherons, but you might try that as a viable "explanation".

I lived in Mattoon Il. for many years.  Just north of there is the Amish community of Arcola, Il..   I have seen the Amish there, use both the box style and the sedan style shown (without the sidelights) in both links.  Mostly the box style though.   

I have seen them in all configurations.  Buggy pick-ups.  Buggy delivery.  All very utilitarian of course.  But, here's one for ya...

This one must belong to a young Amish rebel!
