Manufacturer description

Mail trains have long captured the imagination and interest of railway modellers but a missing link in the modern mail fleet has been the Propelling Control Vehicle (PCV) – until now! This new tooling from EFE Rail brings the PCV to OO scale, joining a host of complementary models already produced by Bachmann Branchline allowing accurate main train formations to be created.
