About Royal Mail travelling post office sorting coach (with motorised net) by Ewout Rohling
Many railways in the UK had Travelling Post Office carriages, where mail was picked up while the train was still travelling at speed using large nets. This carriage is motorised, recreating this unusual practice in diminutive Lego scale!
A clip of the carriage in action can be seen here: https://flickr.com/photos/156681398@N08/51993416057/in/dateposted-public/
