Manufacturer description

The history of living wagons can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when nomadic peoples used them to travel from place to place. However, it was during the Victorian era that living wagons reached their peak of popularity. This was due in part to the rise of railroads, which made it easier for traveling people to transport their wagons over long distances. They were typically towed by horses or steam tractors, and were equipped with all the necessities of life, including kitchens, bedrooms, and sitting rooms.They offered a sense of freedom and independence. At a time when many people were tied to their homes and jobs, traveling people were able to roam the country freely and make their own living. Over time many were used by showmen as they travelled from fair to fair.The Oxford Diecast 1:76 scale wagon comes in Brown and is on a plinth with a clear case lid and Oxford Showtime wrap.
