Post wagon with carriage and harnessed horses
From the post wagon to the railway track
Most toys from Gröden were mass produced, yet there were also some carefully made unique items, like this post wagon with access door, double shafts, yellow varnishing and the writing 'K.K. Post'. As of 1856, post wagons accessed Gröden on the road through the valley, and in 1867 Gröden was joined up with the Brennerbahn railway via Waidbruck, which made doing business in the valley a lot easier.
