Hornby are still offering an operating mail car in OO scale - the car is a pretty fair model of an LMS example and is operated by plastic ramps that clip between the rails and move levers under the car, which open one of a pair of flaps to catch the "mailbag" from a lineside hook or drop it off in a collecting "hopper" - the set retails for about £25 over here. The only snag is that the ramps that operate it tend to cause problems with more modern stock operating on the same track, as they protrude slightly above the rails. If you can get around this it's a fairly convincing set to operate, and the car looks as if it would benefit from super-detailing work.
