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.In 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 on your layout to keep a watchful eye on the mail. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings and a coachman figure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40410493124643,"sku":"HORR40436","price":64.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/2115\/8947\/files\/hornby-r40436-oo-scale-l-mr-royal-mail-coach-1167683878.jpg?v=1750560249","url":"https:\/\/hobbytechtoys.com.au\/products\/hornby-r40436-oo-scale-l-mr-royal-mail-coach","provider":"Hobbytech Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
