Stage script for Baggage Cart prop?

[Dick Dastardly]

Howdy Pards,

I'm restoring a period correct iron wheeled railroad baggage cart.  I won't use oak, but I will use treated wood so it can sit outside and not fall apart, again.

The cart originally came from the Chicago Spegel warehouse catalog outlet.  Yes, I will have photos as I go.

I'm going to donate the cart to the Rock River Regulators for use in a railroad train station stage.  What I need help with is some script ideas that will incorporate the train station/baggage cart theme.  In other words, I want to see it get used and enjoyed.  So, what say ye?  Any ideas will be appreciated.

You need to know that I have a problem tho.  I hang out over on the Darksiders Den and don't get over here as often as I should.  Please be patient.

There was a SW Lawman that was a baggage car guard for a payroll shipment.  Can't recall his name.  The shipment was ambushed just as the car door opened.  Our man was shot & wounded (eventually lost most of the use of his arm - but stayed in the business.)

While wounded and about to be permanently retired, he let loose with his Parker and killed his assailant.

Then there is the station shoot out scene from when the Earps were leaving Tomstone.

Thanks Sir Charles,

Yup, that's the kind of stuff I'm lookin' for.  This will be a real working prop, not a paste up.  We used to haul 55 Gallon barrels of water and stuff on it.

I think I saw that story in a Sheriff Wilson article in SHOOTING TIMES?
