MARX Recast Stage Coach

I was lucky to get the store to swap a red coach body for the brown one in the bag. No interior or super detail like the beautiful old Britains Ltd. coach from 50 years ago but this coach is fun.

    One thing that´s a rarety in 1/72nd...coaches. There´s a couple of western ones but for the mid 1600´s etc, none. Strange really considering that as from the 17th century onwards they were common, even used to transport the chiefs of staff on battlefields.
    I used to have a Timpo western coach...but swopped it for a medieval cog.

    very nice coach !
    in each scale, we find something which don't exist in another scale, it's quite frustrating ... but it's a part of our hobby, no?

    Dislike those CTS Indian ponies but like the figures. They also fit well on the TSSD Ponies and look good IMHO

      The robbers are converted Replicant Pinkertons. The two drivers are a MARX recast and an IMEX limber driver.

    Marx made a hard plastic model kit of a stagecoach. You can find one on eBay, but it costs a lot.
