I could've sworn I did a post showing all the MPC Western wagon's appearing here on the blog, but it looks like that didn't happen - more than likely I was getting ready to do it then got distracted. I like doing posts like these because they lump together all the different installments of a particular thread into a condensed form.
It's crazy how much mileage MPC/Miner/Multiple got out of these castings. Change the color of the wagon or the color of the wheels and you got a new toy. Switch the lettering on the wagon covers and BAM you got a new toy. Go from plastic to cardboard covers or loads and POW, you got another new toy! How much fun is that? LOL Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Hitches
By adding extra hitches to the front you could expand this is into one l-o-n-g rig!
Evolution of the 2-horse hitch
Early 1-horse hitches with a strap holding the horses in place plus a spacer bar to hold the two hitches apart
2-horse hitches with a spacer bar to keep them apart.
A later style of 2-horse hitch - one-piece casting. Additional teams of horses could be added to the front of this hitch
