Stagecoach – 3D Model
Formats: MAX, FBX, OBJ, TEX
Stagecoach wagon is a four-wheeled public transport vehicle, drawn by horses or mules, and used to carry paying passengers and light packages on journeys long enough to need a change of horses. It is strongly sprung and generally drawn by four horses although some versions are drawn by six horses. Stagecoaches were operated by companies called stagecoach lines. The lines were responsible for providing the coaches, horses, and drivers. Stagecoaches typically ran on a schedule, with departures at set times. Passengers would purchase tickets in advance. Travel by stagecoach was an adventure. The coaches were often crowded and uncomfortable. The roads were often poor, and the journey could be dangerous. However, stagecoach travel was also a way to see the country and meet new people. Stagecoaches were gradually replaced by railroads in the late 19th century. However, they continued to be used in some areas until the early 20th century. Stagecoaches are still used today for reenactments and tourist attractions. They are also a popular subject of movies and television shows. Stagecoaches are a reminder of a simpler time when travel was slower and more challenging. They are a part of American history and culture.
