Discover the new collection of postal carriages designed by the manufacturer REE Models on our website.
These miniature models in HO scale: 1/87, will be ideal for completing your rail network.
History of the model:
The postal van was put into service to transport various parcels and mail around the world. In France there are two types of postal carriages:
- The "ambulants" intended for the transport and sorting of mail.
- The "allèges postales" intended for the transport of dispatches (official communiqué or private order).
As these vans were generally used with passenger carriages, they were later given the name "postal carriages".
In addition, the OCEM carriages were manufactured by the Office Central d'Etudes de Matériel de Chemins de Fer (OCEM) for long journeys on the railways. They were distributed for many railway companies, including the SNCF.
To our great delight, model railway manufacturer REE Modèles, plans to design these postal cars in HO: 1/87 scale to complement our trainsets on our model train network.
