I think that Tamiya have done a couple of kits with horses pulling carts, their fild kitchen springs to mind, as a source of a couple of cart wheels. I'm not sure if it's still available though. You could also try Historex Agents, I don't know their contact details, but I think that they are in Folkstone. Typing Historex Agents into your favourite search engine should get results. They might even have a full wagon and they have verlinden's stuff which might have what you are looking for.
