1:12 Scale Wood & Metal Concord Stagecoach from Model Trailways / Model Expo Guns of History Kit No. MS4017 BRIEF HISTORY The Abbott Downing Company of Concord, New Hampshire built its first stagecoach in 1827. These coaches were used for passenger and mail service between St. Louis and San Francisco. Abbott produced coaches for both Wells Fargo and Butterfield Overland Stage companies. Weighing over two tons, the coaches were solidly built. The bodies rested on leather throughbraces - not for the passengers' comfort, but to prevent injury to the horses. The wheels were made of seasoned white oak to withstand the heat and the cold. Leather "boots" front and back held mail sacks and luggage. The interior was just over 4' wide and 4-1/2' high. Three benches provided seating for nine passengers. CONCORD STAGECOACH KIT CONTENTS Our kit replicates the original with steerable wooden wheels, working suspension and opening doors. Cast metal wheel hubs, axles and door hinges; brass strips, rods, nails, nuts and bolts and photo-etched brass parts add authentic detail. Driver’s bench is perched at the top of the wagon and interior is complete with seating for nine. Decal sets for both Wells Fargo and Butterfield let you choose the version you’ll build. Laser cut basswood parts, well-drawn plans and clear instructions make assembly easy.
