Prototype pics: Street sprinkler wagon

[Ray Dunakin]

I don't know if anyone here is into modeling old wagons, but just in case...

This street sprinkler wagon was displayed outside a quarry and construction company in Santee, CA along with the steam roller seen in my previous post. It was originally used by the City of San Diego. Horse-drawn street sprinklers were very common back in the day, but not many still exist. (At least, I've never seen one until now.) I shot extensive photos of the whole thing, with many detail closeups.

Anyway, I finally got around to posting these pics to my website, hopefully some will find them useful for modeling reference or simply enjoy seeing this unusual wagon. As always, if anyone wants high resolution images for modeling purposes, just let me know:

Thanks. It's too bad they didn't put any supports under this wagon to take the weight off the wheels. As you can see from the pics, the wheels are collapsing and eventually the whole thing will fall down.
