A Field Hospital. The Ambulances are from Classic Toy Soldiers and fit the old MARX style.
Some repro MARX artillerymen were "short shots" from the mold and have poor ramrods. I trimmed these to make water carriers. The Hobby Bunker in Malden, Mass. has repros of the MARX colonial woman with buckets in light blue that make pretty good nurses. A miner makes a good civilian worker.
Classic Toy Soldiers cannon are sturdy models and relatively inexpensive. Here I have an artillery park. I don't have the table space for the full 6 horse teams, limbers, and caissons that Classic Toy Soldiers makes but they're nice models.
