1880s Style 1200 Gallon Water Wagon | Engels Coach Shop

21 videos condensed in to 1 concise episode on building the water wagon for the new 20 mule team Borax wagons. These wagons are period correct for the 1880s of freighting in the Mojave Desert from Death Valley to the town of Mojave, CA. The complete detailed videos can be viewed in the Borax Playlist on this channel.

Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
