The Mail Train

Mail coaches used to run in a special night train in the charge of Thomas or Percy, but in recent seasons the train is pulled in broad daylight and Percy is almost always in charge, although Oliver, James and Edward have taken the train on occasion.

Merchandising
The mail coaches are available as TOMY, Trackmaster, Bachmann, Hornby, Bandai Tecs and Take-Along models. Their ERTL and Learning Curve Wooden models have been discontinued.

Trivia

 * In Hero of the Rails, "SODOR MAIL" on the sides is replaced by an envelope with wings.
 * Two mail coaches are currently on display in Drayton Manor coupled up to Thomas.
