The Wild West
Having fun with photo stacking and Models of Yesteryear from Matchbox.
The Wells Fargo Stagecoach travelled at approximately 5mph (8Km/h) with four or six horse teams changing at swing stations every 12 miles (19Km). Wells Fargo stagecoaches had, by the turn of the century, played a large part in opening up North America's legendary frontier country.
By 1918, when they were replaced by motorized transport, Wells Fargo Company stagecoaches had been carrying mail and travellers across the length and breadth of the nation for over fifty years. They seated nine passengers and were affectionately called "a cradle on wheels" by author Mark Twain. The coaches were elaborately decorated, nevertheless, travellers often complained of the cramped conditions inside.
And if this photo is ignored by explore (just like all my photos in the past 5 years) that's more likely because those flickr folks are biased towards photos featuring lego and not mathcbox toys.
