As Aaron has said, and I too like the working doors and latches. Great work all round on a cute looking wagon.

Word of warning and note to myself; use epoxy in all the parts when building, maybe assisted with CA glue and varnish properly the whole wagon after finished. This is what happened after a weekends heavy raining. The underframe and the flooring is falling apart. My fault as some of those parts were glued only with white glue and I forgot to varnish the wagon flooring...

Nature will always win!
But having said that, some people pay good money for added decrepitude to their stock..
I think it looks great!

Learned that lesson the hard way, too. Only in my case it was mere overnight dew!
CA-tacking stronger glues is my preferred choice.
