About The Builder

Russ Tyndall has been building full-size reproduction stagecoaches since 1990. Tyndall, who has had a fascination with these horse-drawn vehicles for many years, decided to put his affinity for them to work and subsequently formed S&R Stageworks, Inc. Created in the early 90's, S&R has built and sold coaches to customers as far away as Tokyo, Japan.

Tyndall's attention to detail is apparent and his skills are wide ranging. He got his start as a teenager building hot rods back in the 1950's. Over the years he has built and restored numerous classic cars. He also worked as an artist in the graphics/display industry and has raced cars, including Formula as well as open wheel midgets as part of USAC and the old UARA of the 1970's. Working in these trades have allowed Tyndall to garner decades of experience - experience necessary to produce a replica stagecoach of the highest possible caliber.

Since Tyndall formed S&R Stageworks, Inc., several newspapers have written articles about him and his stagecoaches. He has even received interest from the nationally renowned, Arizona Highways. The most recent newspaper article about S&R Stageworks, Inc. appeared in the Arizona Business Gazette and can be read here.

Tyndall is married to his wife Sandy and has two grown children, Russ Jr. and Michele. In addition to owning and operating S&R Stageworks, Inc., he also works as a part-time wrangler for a local guest-ranch.
