Ivan Collins plans
These plans were drawn by Ivan Collins and reproduced by the Oregon
Historical Society Press in Portland, Oregon. These would be
better for the model makers - but they would only offer a proportionate guideline
for people
building a full size vehicle. Most of these plans are on a 1/8th
scale and are for non-commercial use only. There is also a great book with color photos of this collection called
"Historical Vehicles in Miniature". See my book list for Model Makers.

Southwest Wagon & Wheel Plans These
plans are on 8" X 11" sheets with written specs & construction data for
building full size vehicles. The plans were revised by Southwest Wagon & Wheel
Works from copies of the Carriage Monthly, one of the vehicle builder's trade publication
from the late 1800's and early 1900's. I am the exclusive source for
these plans. |

Stan
Teitge These plans are
drafted from the traditional vehicles. There are scale drawings
with
full size dimensions. The only two plans we have available at this time are
the Meadowbrook Cart and Buckboard. You can also find the Cart Chart on the
left side of this
page to help you decide what size cart to build for your horse. |

John Thompson Many
of these plans were taken out of the old trade journals for building full
size vehicles and some were drawn
for the model maker. There is a lot of
detail in each set and there is a big variety of vehicle plans. I just
bought out another collection of his plans and have added those to
Page 2 and
Page 3 of Thompson's plans.
There is a sale on page 2 of the plans limited to stock on hand. I offer
some of the pre-made model wheels and
other parts for these vehicles too. |

Wagonmaster Even though
these were designed for model vehicles, the plans are so detailed they would
make a great guideline for building a full size horse drawn vehicle. They
show every nut, bolt and board. |

Army Escort Wagon - Civil War Era.
This was one huge sheet of paper 32 inches wide and too long to handle so I
put them on 2 sheets of paper for ease of viewing. They were hand-drawn and
use to build a full size Escort wagon. These are rolled and mailed in a tube
or you may order them folded. I will also include the instructions for building this
vehicle taken from the Army Quartermaster requirements. I retyped it in a
larger print size for easier reading. $30 plus $8

| Also look at the
Horse Drawn Vehicle
Books list. I have a great a book with over 100 plans for vehicles
called "Working Drawings of Horse Drawn Vehicles" for $55 + $13
s/h to US addresses.
