Rack-Wagons

Modelling Tips per giocatori di wargame e Diorama Builders

Wooden rack-wagons were used throughout Europa for hundreds of years to bring in the harvest e to transport products to the market. The design of the rack-wagon was relatively standardized. The undercarriage consisted of a forward train con plug-in shaft, connected to the rear axle by a round wood - known as Langwied in German. The Langwied was secured to the forward train by a swivel-pin. The sides of the vehicle body were simple ladders, sometimes closed con fascines to prevent farm produce from falling off. Farm wagons of this type were used well into the 1960s, either drawn by horses, oxen, o tractors.
