Before motorways, millions of letters were delivered from town to town by railway. Many of these mail trains travelled at night & included a TPO (Travelling Post Office) coach in which bags of letters & small parcels were collected, sorted & then dropped off in bags at the relevant stations along the route. This set includes a distinctive London, Midland & Scottish 0-6-0 locomotive, plus a TPO & support brake coach. A '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. Track layout: extended oval with 1 siding & a buffer stop.
