A Royal Mail coach would be placed on the end of a train with a guard seated high up on a special seat at the back of the coach keeping a watchful eye. As the first specifically designed Mail Coach to be used on a railway, it paved the way for a long-standing relationship between railways and the mail.\r\n\r\nIn the style of an old horse-drawn carriage, our Royal Mail coach model emulates mail travel from the 1800s. It sports an L\u0026amp;MR red and black livery. A crew figure (coachman) can be seated at the back of your layout to perfectly replicate the scene. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings and a coachman figure.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43092956414057,"sku":"5063129029272","price":68.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/auroratrains.com.au\/products\/hornby-r40436-l-mr-royal-mail-coach-era-1-oo-scale","provider":"Aurora Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
