King and Country CD041 "Welcome To Abilene" 1/30 Western Metal Toy Soldier

Description: Welcome To Abilene This listing is for 1x King and Country CD041 "Welcome To Abilene" 1/30 Western Metal Toy Soldier Abilene was and is a small town in Kansas in the United States. It is also the home of The Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library, but that's another story... In 1867, the Kansas Pacific Railway Company (Union Pacific today) pushed westwards through Abilene, where a local resident built a hotel and stockyards capable of holding up to 2,000 head of cattle and stables for cattle drive horses. At the same time, the railroad constructed a 'spur-line' that enabled cattle cars to be rapidly loaded and sent on to various destinations in the Northern States. Business in the town grew quickly and became the first, great 'Cow Town' of the West. Here you can see one of the cowboys who has just driven a large herd of cattle all the way up from Texas to the railhead here in Abilene. It's not surprising that after many long weeks on the trail and in the saddle he rests against one of the local sign posts marking the cowtown's city limits. Figures are 1:30 scale (humans approx 60mm tall), hand-painted white, non-lead metal. Shipping Want to save on shipping? Buy multiple items and let us invoice you to combine shipping costs!
