Classic American Buckboard Wagon •••• This It is distinctively an American vehicle. The “buckboard” is the front-most board on the wagon.
i
It was of simple wagon construction (and our easiest wagon to model), meant to be drawn by a horse, mule or other large animal.
i
A true buckboard had no metal springs, its suspension comes from the springy boards that make up the floor/body. It has been reported that this springy action was of equal comfort over rough roads, which kept manufacturing costs down. Much of the charm of this ruggedly constructed vehicle is its functional versatility.
i
Modeling options included: brakes, boot chest, buggy whip, cushion(s), small stake sides, side steps, even a luggage rack or maybe a lamp or two. A buckboard wagon often had a seat for a driver and a “back seat” for the rest of the family.

American Farm Box Wagon •••• These are very detailed plans down to the nuts and bolts. There is no way to compare a finished model built from these plans compared to a laser cut built kit.
i
It is reported that there were almost a 1000 wagon builders across American in the late 1800’s. Obviously there was some variation in construction details, but, the basic wagon changed little over the years.
i
This Plan-Set allows for the modeler to vary details, but, build with metal and wood just as they did over 100 years ago.

Heavy Duty Dray Wagon •••• Drays are the strongest type of commercial freight wagons pulled by a team of draft animals. Generally they were used in and around the “big city" to haul heavy loads well into the 1920s and beyond. Floors were flat with smaller wheels than a Farm Wagon for easy lower loading of large machinery and parts and even a casket if no hearse was available. The Pullman RR Car Co. used Drays to move wheel sets and other Pullman Car parts around their factory complex.
i
This design is a model of a ten-ton capacity Dray with a full-circle fifth-wheel which provided greater maneuverability within crowded city streets.

Tank Wagon •••• Tankers collected lamp oil (kerosene) at the train depot, sold it to shops and peddled it by the gallon to city folk. Also, in the heat of summer they were used to sprinkle dirt roads in a city when the dust became too thick to breath. They were also used for delivering water to residents where wells were not available. Fire fighting for Sawmill and logging operations.

American Flare-Type, Grain-Tight, Farm Wagon •••• The “Flare-Type” Wagon is a variation of the boxes found on Farm Wagons. This type of box became popular as the use of mechanical corn pickers became available.
i
Running gear shown are clipped with bracing at all stress points to avoid breakage and misalignment. The front gear has a large, steel, full-circle fifth wheel, making for a solid unit to prevent tipping and excessive rocking. The hind gear has long hounds to assure “true tracking.” Both front and hind bolsters are “well ironed” (reinforced).
i
This design has up-and-down tie rods securing the box to the bed. Adjustable chains and rods were used to to prevent the sides from spreading under load. Box ends and sides are cleated and riveted.

1906 Dumper Wagon •••• This is a contractor’s suspension body dumping wagon following illustrations in the May 1906, Carriage monthly. These wagons were designed for contractors, especially in cities to cart away refuse, ashes, and garbage. This wagon could carry 3 to 4 tons of anthracite coal. Contractors also used these wagons for road construction hauling earth, sand gravel. (This was an era when earth was worked by men with picks and shovels.) Until coal was readily available these wagons would haul firewood to residents which were often found in sawmill towns near forests. Sawmills also used them to haul slash and sawdust to refuse burners. Mining operations used them to haul ore.

To increase capacity, slanting boards panels are shown as an option in these drawings. These boards can be modeled stationary or removable.

Called Dumping Wagons is obvious. (Sometimes referred to as tip carts.) Dumping was accomplished by sticking a robust timber between the spokes of the hind wheel, pulling the Tail Gate rods, rotating the Latching Hook; then a Teamster backing the team unbalancing and dumping the material within the wagon body, dumping the load. Resetting the wagon body was accomplished by reversing the process.

These wagons were pulled by two, sometimes four, heavy draft animals such as Clydesdales, or Percheron horses.

Heavy Duty Complete Log & Cord Wagon •••• Logging Wagons are similar to the farm wagon but with no bed, heavier construction, and with brakes for hauling logs from a hilly Pinery to a Loading Deck. Some additional ways of displaying a Logging Wagon other than by your Sawmill would be to show it by a roadside restaurant. They could also fit prototypically within an oil well scene hauling pipes or derrick timbers and in the construction of city buildings. The capacity of the one shown in this Plan-Set would have been eight tons.

Mill / Factory Lumber Buggy •••• The name “Buggy” as used here is a lumber-mill term. These wagons were used at sawmills, lumber yards, woodworking plants and general farm use. These wagons carried their load balanced over the rear wheels. They were heavy spring-less wagons. The capacity of the one shown in this Plan-Set would have been three tons. Because of the many places where such wagons were used it continued in use many years longer than most types of wagons.

1904 Most Improved Express Delivery Wagon •••• Sometimes called a Hitch or Baggage Wagon, or Show Wagon. They were widely used for light city trucking of large parcels and boxes to homes and businesses. These wagons were closely associated with railway shipping carrying trunks and baggage to and from depots.

Companies took great pride in their Express Delivery Wagons bearing their business name and a magnificent team of horses to pull them.

Express wagons are one of the most carefully designed and practical, yet beautiful wagons ever built. The spring system, fifth-wheel assembly and ‘cut-under’ front wheels facilitate tight turns and give this wagon flexibility making it ideally suited to the crowded driving conditions in cities during the horse-drawn era. Characteristically they had flared upper side boards and a high driving seat.

Gruber Wagon Works on a DVD •••• The Gruber Wagon Works operated from 1883 to 1910. The factory was located near Keading, Pennsylvania in Berks County. It is an example of a factory that operated at full production through 1910.
i
This is a very basic DVD of nine (9) measured and dimensioned drawings drawn to Historic American Engineering and Building Records standards for the Library of Congress. There is enough information for a modeler to build these historic buildings, or even build the full scale buildings. The drawings show the location of the wood working machinery that were used to manufacturer wagons using the "American System."
