I have an old steel wheeled cart which I think came from some depot somewhere. It could be something else, though, because it's wheels are all uniformly 14 inches high (4" wide). It looks for all the world like a macro child's play wagon in it's design--handle and all. But it's built so strong that I think I could pile two tons of whatever on it. I'm remembering the railroad carts in my hometown being taller and having bigger rear wheels than fronts. It's deck is 29" wide and 65" long. I'm toying with the idea of selling it but I wonder what it is worth. I've seen these things hauling one-lunger engines at shows. I'm sure this cart could handle a 6 or 8 hp engine without any trouble. Curious?

If you could post a picture would be great. My son restored a wagon similar to what you described at a local railroad museum. It was a baggage cart used by the Railway Express Agency, forerunner to UPS, etc. That was a wagon that could have been pulled by a small shop tractor.

sorry--I did proof read my original but it came out "olf" instead of "old."
