Model Trailways 1/16 Scale Civil War Rucker Ambulance Model Kit
These models are as detailed as the real cannon and equipment on America's Civil War battlefield.
The carnage of the Civil War made transporting the wounded from the battlefields a matter of life and death. The ambulance wagon designed by Brigadier General DH Rucker and built at the Government Repair shops in Washington proved to be the most valuable innovation. Used during the latter half of the war, it was able to carry patients in seated or prone positions. The ambulance body rested on platform springs designed to reduce both fore-and-aft and side-to-side jostling. The suspension also included a horizontal draught spring under the fifth wheel to reduce the sudden lurch of the wagon when the team started to pull it. Though somewhat heavier than other ambulance designs at 1,120 pounds, the added weight improved stability.
Kit Features:
Historically accurate and perfectly scaled
Cleanly cast Britannia metal components
Laser-cut ply and basswood platform & chassis
Spoked wooden wheels with metal rims & axels
Realistic Red Cross decals
Canvas top
Clearly written illustrated instructions
Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit. Not included. Available separately.
