  • Product Description

    Suitable for the following scale(s):
    OO Scale

    Please note: not DCC ready. Before the development of the British motorway system millions of letters were shipped from town to town by railway. Many of these mail trains travelled at night and included a TPO (Travelling Post Office) coach in which bags of letters and small parcels were collected, sorted and then left in bags at the relevant stations along the route.This set not only includes an eye catching 0-6-0 locomotive but also a TPO and support brake coach. The net projects from the coach to scoop the mailbag from the trackside pick-up hook. The bag is then automatically ejected into the trackside receiving bin at the place of delivery. Set also includes a MidiMat, an oval of track with siding which can be extended using the Track Packs available separately.Contents: LMS Class 3F 0-6-0 locomotive, LMS Travelling Post Office, LMS Brake coachTrack: 3rd Radius Starter Oval, Track Pack A (with point and buffer stop), P9000WWall Plug Transformer,R8250 Train Controller, R8206 Power Track, Hornby MidiMat (1600 x 1270).

    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    I particularly wanted one of these for my child (and me!) as I remember having a similar set as part of a layout given to me as a child.
    This is how train sets should be, with an excellent operating accessory to get the child interested, rather than just a normal oval of track. With this set you get a mail coach which picks up a mail bag from one side of the track and automatically drops it into a bin on the other side of the oval.
    Great stuff and fantastice value for money at Amazon's low price too!

    hornby mail train 12 Jan 2011
    By Retep
    Durability:    Educational:    Fun:   
    This is at the toy-end of hornby models. Plastic wheels on the coaches which can be replaced with metal ones. works well. I bought it as a starter to build on and i remembered having a similar mail coach when i was young. Was very reasonably priced as it tends to be £25 more in the shops.It is durable if used with care.

    my 10 years old son loved this train. The coaches are very detailed, and it is a beauty to see it running around.

    mail train
    Purchased for my grandson. Set up as part of a model railway system. He is amazed by the collection and delivery of the mail bags from one point to another.

    Nice starter kit, easy to put together, contains a mat to follow the layout which helps with piecing the track - good value as was on offer

    Poor Quality Control Box
    This train set is great and seems to be good value, but the quality of the control box is very poor. Ours has broken after less than 2 weeks normal use.
