Cavalry/Civil War accessory sprue That unrecognizeable item at the lower right between the pennant and pistol is a folded pair of gloves. It is perhaps Marx' smallest accessory, just 3/8 of an inch wide. While some of the items in this photo are detached from the sprue, they are all positioned correctly as manufactured. |

Rear of 54mm covered wagon shown in photo above. | Hitch used for 54mm wagons CTS has added a small hole at the front of its re-issued hitches and created a new hitch that will attach to it, allowing more than two horses to be displayed pulling a wagon. |
Red wagon with gray top from Johnny Ringo Set
Top is not on wagon because two wagon top tabs are stuck in the insertion holes from the top that originally came with the wagon. I've thought of carefully using a small drill to remove them. Anyone have a suggestion on removing such pins tightly wedged into holes? |

Re-issue stagecoach from Gold Rush playset Note that hitch is the 1-horse 60mm version. Collectors do not like to see re-issues made in the same color as originals, but this red is just too far out! |
Re-issue stagecoach made by Hobby Bunker in 2010 Sold with 1-horse 60mm hitch and no wheels. At one time, Hobby Bunker had the wheels shown in the photo that were sold separately, but I am not sure if they still stock them. Two-horse hitches from re-issue wagons should fit. |

Stagecoach from playset kit |
Cover of playset box for stagecoach kit |
Set #1373, which did not include cowboys and Indians. The box probably originally included the driver and whip, as shown in the photos below. Photos courtesy of Rob, Ebay ID cuberforlife |
Contents of the Stagecoach Play Set. These photos are the left and right sides of a display of the Stagecoach Play Set at the Official Marx Museum in Moundsville, West Virginia. Note the driver's whip, which is held in a bracket to the right of the driver. The teepee shown did not come with the set, but rather is the teepee made for the larger scale Johnny West figures. A paper teepee came with at least some of these wagon sets. |
Large scale stagecoach. This appears to be the same coach used in all the large scale sets except the kit set described above. Note the hole in the front of the hitch to attach two more horses. The photo is of a display at the Krueger Street Toy and Train Museum in Wheeling, West Virginia. |

Top view of hitch. As noted in the narrative above, this hitch looks like the same one used for the 6-inch figure stagecoach sets described above. Note the small rings in the hitch in the front and back of both horses, used to thread the reins. The large loop in front allows an additional hitch to be added (not shown), but I believe this was used only for stagecoaches. |
Chuck wagon (trail kitchen not attached to back) Photo courtesy of Mark Hegeman |
6-inch wagon made for Mexican sales (box cover on left) Photos courtesy of Mark Hegeman. Other than the language, the wagon seems to be identical to the Wagon Train covered wagon shown above. Neither the box (on the left, in poor condition) nor the wagon itself indicates the wagon was made by PlastiMarx in Mexico, but it may have been. |
1. Hanging barrel. This is a 2-piece item. The barrel has a hole in its bottom that fits into a peg on the holder. The holder has a hole to attach it to the wagon, perhaps where the top of the wagon attaches. |
2. Storage box marked "GOLD". |
3. Bucket. It appeared that the separate handle had never been attached to the bucket. So after 40 or so years, I had the privilege of doing it! |
4. Rectangular crate. The box is 5-sided with the bottom open. |
5. Sack of flour. | 6. Wash tub. |
7. Lantern. | 8. Shovel. |
9. Rifle. |
1. Chuck wagon trail kitchen attachment (3 pieces) An odd looking contraption when closed up, as above. See below for unit open and installed on wagon. |
|
1. Wood-burning stove/oven. This unit apparently was carried on the chuck wagon, but placed on the ground for "use." |
2. Hanging box. The box has two plastic hooks on its back that cannot be seen in the photo, which allow the box to hang on the side of the wagon. |
3. Pot without lid 4. Frying pan 5. Coffee pot |
6. Pot with lid (2 pieces) 7. Whiskey jug |
8. Cups (2) 9. Plates (2) |

13. Tall barrel | |
Keep yer hands off the grub, pawdner! Looks like fixin's is runnin' low. |
Whip. This may be the whip that goes with these wagons and the stagecoach above for 6-inch figures, though I purchased it separately from the other accessories shown here. |
