Stagecoach Restoration In Montana Stagecoach Repair Wheelwright Restorations Wagons

Greetings from Engels Coach Shop, on Main Street in Joliet, Montana – where the art and craft of stagecoach making and restoration lives on! One of the last frontier holdouts of stagecoach and horse-drawn carriages lies waiting for you to see and experience – we’re called Engel’s Coach Shop, now celebrating 30 years in the horse drawn vehicle and wheelwright trade.

Situated in Yellowstone Park’s virtual backyard, in the dramatic foothills of the Beartooth Mountains (our coaches are used at Roosevelt Lodge!) – our small-town, family-owned business remains true to the art and craft of the Old West’s proudest lineage and tradition.

In the words of Lynn Miller, editor of the Small Farm Journal, Dave Engel is “...an old-style master wheelwright …a modern craftsman looking to understand and share the principles of his chosen craft.”

Whatever your interests and/or level of knowledge and expertise, you are more than welcome to stop by our 5,000-square foot shop. Here’s where we do it when it comes to coach restorations and wagon repairs and everything to do with wheels and wheelwright matters: buggy wheels, buggy parts, horse drawn conveyances of all types and descriptions (sheep wagons and other custom specialty buggies and buggy parts, too!)…singletrees, doubletrees, shafts, draft horse supplies and components – whatever you need; we’ll try to put it together for you.

Plus, we have made possible the only instructional videos about wheelwrighting lessons that exist. You aren’t restricted to learning and watching in person – you can watch, and maybe even learn something, wherever you happen to be! It’s just like being here in the shop while I work.

Even though we live in a one-horse town we encourage the use of modern conveniences and technology -- like websites, e-mail and phones! -- wherever possible.

So, you're encouraged to call, e-mail, or write, or use VISA and Master Card to order over the phone, online, or whatever suits you best.

We ship mostly via USPS (the post office) and it's amazing what we get through! If UPS is better for you, we'll do that too. Maybe we'll see you someday.

Happy Trails,

Dave and Diane Engel
