ichard Eighmey (pronounced A-me -- long A and E), better known as Dick, has been making wagons and carriages for the model hobby and other scale folks, for more than two centuries -- OK, in more
than two centuries.
I first saw Dick's work at the very first Breyerfest in 1990 and brought home a huge box with circus wagon and cart. Dick numbers each of his circus wagons sequentially, so you can see he's done a lot of them.
Dick died circa 2005. He wil be missed.
