Mail Bags

[port perran]

Anyone know of good quality mailbags?
I have some of the P&D Marsh ones though I'm not really happy with them. Is there anything a little more realistic ?   I realise, of course, that they are very tiny !!

Have you tried HMP Exeter, they make authentic ones? Oh no, they've stopped making them. 


Sorry Martin, I couldn't resist it,..... I'll fetch my coat..

Thanks for that helpful comment Jack
I'd be mighty impressed that the inmates of HMP could stitch mailbags that small

How do you know that Jack ? Have you got "inside" information ?

Best regards,

Yes but not from first hand experience!

Sounds like you may have some dodgy "friends" !!

Definitely no dodgy friends!, maybe the odd dodgy in-law, or should that be out-law now.

Not quite sure what you need, nor for what era, but there are a number of manufacturers coming up on a Google search. Harburn Hamlet have a stack of sacks and there's a seller on ebay called model scenery who has sacks.

If all else fails you could try modelling them in Milliput.

Makes two of us then

Have a go at making some yourself from Fimo or Milliput. £3 will buy you plenty of either and allow you to make 100s more than you'd get from the same price of ready made bags.


Happy modelling.
