Hornby The Night Mail Train Set
Product Code: R1144
Production Details:
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
dropped off 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.
