Bicorne do a couple of carts:

Though I am not sure how well they mix with Warlord as Bicorne minis tend to be more 31-32mm, a bit bigger than Warlord. But this might not be very noticeable on the table.

Also wargames foundry do a hand carried sedan chair.

These are all I know of though there may be others.

Redoubt do carts, wagons and a carriage.

There are carts and wagons by Wargames Foundry, as well as a sedan chair.

I thought there were, I could even picture the cart driver in my mind, but couldn't find them on their site, must be me.

What were the wheels like? Victrix have a set of Napoleonic artillery with lovely plastic wheels but I suspect they are too fine and too modern. Cruder and stronger one used to be available separately from GW in plastic who did them solid and spoked for cannon and the like. Other outfits did them in metal in various sizes and styles.

I might seem a little obsessed with wheels but they are the hard bit, well the horses or oxen as well, but the body is relatively easy to mike in thin wood, balsa is a little weak for this, limewood would be better, or whatever your local model shop has, I saw obechi in Craft World in Belfast last week and it looked promising. Plastic card might be easier again, certainly more predictable and easier to glue.

Wagon designs varied regionally and over time but some quite primitive looking wagons lasted until the end. Shires do a little book on the things that might be useful, certainly some of their books on buildings are invaluable.

Wagons are one of those things that I suspect you could not have too many of but that get ignored like WW II trucks, really important but not that interesting.

Top tip for anyone using plasticard to build anything to look wooden, brush it over with a wire brush to give it woodgrain before priming.
