A Wagon's Front Axle 5th Wheel Bolster Rebuild | Engels Coach Shop

Preserving pieces of an original wagon is difficult when they are missing, but scrounging through salvaged parts I am able to find original irons that will fill in the gaps. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles sometimes requires some improvising, and this week I can combine pieces from different old wagons to make a match for this particular wagon I am trying to preserve.
