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. New plans have been
added! There are now 9 vehicle plans including the Meadowbrook
Cart and Buckboard and plans for a canopy top to fit the Democrat wagon. |
|
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 Covered Wagon
for Six Mules- 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. |
| Wood Craft
Plans. These are detailed plans for building a variety of fun
projects including a Conestoga wagon, Manure Spreader, Rocking Horses, and
more. |
| Midwest
Carriage made plans for making a model Amish Family Carriage and
a Landau. When he retired I bought him out and have made these two plans
available. There were many other models but these are the best two I have
right now. These are for 1/12th scale models. |
| 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 + $16
s/h to US addresses.
