Modelling British Railways – Parcels and Mail Trains

Continuing the popular series that mixes modelling with the real railways, Simon Bendall delves into the world of parcels and mail trains. With accuracy in modelling as the main focus, this eagerly awaited volume concentrates on the movement of parcels and sundries traffic, newspaper trains, Travelling Post Offices and more specialised movements such as bullion. Covering the period from the early 1960s to what little remains today, Parcels and Mail Trains splits into several distinct periods and includes a look at operations and formations from these eras along with modelling the vans used through the decades and the associated locomotives.
