Hello Don and all others, I do hope that you are all well. I have not posted on this site since last year, but I do view sometimes.
A few years ago I took my Thai wife to see the Gold State Coach when it was on display at the museum of London. The front wheels are smaller due to steering. the coach weighs four tons (4.48 us tons) (4064.2 kg) and is 24 feet (7.3 m) long, 8 feet wide (2.44 m) and 12 feet (3.7 m) high. and is pulled by a team of eight horses.

Lacking a little detail Mr W. Salentin Sir, here is a slightly better view along with scarce color omission

 

A coach is normally a closed in vehicle. a carriage is not. In the US it was termed a horse and buggy just to have accuracy
