That's a nice buy, Panos, and thanks for the review. 

The door bar looks as if it's just the door bar from the small Steck door lock:

That's a great Western set Wolf Knight!

I have the carriage only, awaiting restoration when I get round to it. The gold bars are fantastic, in a modern set  I expect they'd just be plastic.

I think the stand point behind the guard is so he can face backwards and shoot his rifle over the top of the carriage.

You're right Martin!!! Didn't think of it... Great info!!!

As for the gold bars, they are metal in the moder sets too. I have the 3161 - Safe Crackers and the gold bar included is metalic!

Ah, I have that set but forgot all about the gold bars. Looks like I should be able to order some to put on this Western Bank Transport after all! Thanks for the heads-up!

I'm sure I have one somewhere that's not on a door.

Thanks for the review, Panos.  This is one of several Western sets that I don't have but have been actively seeking out MIB on ebay.  And I do like those metal bars! :)

Thanks Justin! I try getting a free-of-box set first, so that I know what is in there, and then look for an MIB for the sealed collection! I have done this so far with many sets. Its a shame to have it and not know how it looks inside!
