    Hi everyone,

    I need some help. I dropped my brothers model train and its body was damaged beyond repair. He still doesn't know that it is broken as he is away and has not been told for the obvious reason. The model is of the "Irish mail train". If anyone has a spear body they would be willing to sell or if anyone knows of anywhere I could locate one I would be ever so grateful. Thank you in advance for any help it is much appreciated.

    The Irish Mail Set was a limited edition with a named locomotive 'Old Contemptibles'
    You're looking for a BR 4-6-0 Royal Scot class locomotive but you won't get an exact match unless someone is selling off a set as seperate pieces, so he'll know something happened.

    Complete set for sale in UK, not a cheap solution though.
