Discover the new collection of postal carriages designed by the manufacturer REE Modeles 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 letters around the world. In France there are two types of postal carriage:
- Les "ambulants" destinés au transport et tri du courrier.
- Les "allèges postales" destinés au transport de dépêches (communiqué officielle ou d'ordre privé).
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'études de matériel de chemins de fer (OCEM) to make long journeys on railways. They have been distributed for many railway companies, including the SNCF.
For our greatest pleasure, the model railway manufacturer REE Modèles, plans to design these postal carriages in HO scale: 1/87 to complement our trains on our network of model trains.
