This close up of image 'mrls308' shows the goods sitting on
the deck. In addition to the items protected by the canvas tarpaulins are what
looks like "saltware" used for drains etc. (the upturned cylinders). The three
wagons are not to dissimilar to the "Wild West" wagons we see on the TV. The
basic design was the same being unsprung axles, smaller wheels at the front to
allow for steering and large wheels at the rear to aid stability.
