Prototype pics: Street sprinkler wagon

[Ray Dunakin]

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:

I really like that thing. Enough to consider modeling it someday. -- Russ

Here's a similar wagon but with a different usage.

It is a shame to see such a complete horse drawn vehicle, slowly being reduced to garbage, by being left out in the open subject to all sorts of weather.

If only they had put up a structure that had a roof on it, then the vehicle would have lasted for decades with NO depreciation or destruction.

Wonder if who owns it, will EVER get around to repairing all the damage, that they have caused ?

Even just putting some supports under it to take the weight off the wheels and axles, would have prevented a lot of the damage.
