To prevent a thread hijack, I'm starting this one so IceCrystal02 can discuss the toy post office here.

Thanks Ponybookworm! Well, what is there to say? It was so cute, I especially loved the tiny toy money and the stamps. The funniest thing is: I worked for Swiss Post for nearly twenty years in my adult life. :biggrin:
Here is the old post office I used to play with (sorry for cropping my head, but I don't put photos of me on the internet, even ancient ones. ;) )

And here is the new version: https://www.carlit.ch/fr/jeux/poste-des-enfants
I'm rather astonished Royal Mail doesn't seem to sell an official toy post office. This looks unofficial, but cute nevertheless: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Learning-Resources-Pretend-Play-Office/dp/B005ERBYEU?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1. Really tempted to add this to my next amazon.co.uk order, but I don't have children. Normally I'm glad about that, but I'd happily play with that post office for an afternoon or so. :blush:

When you mentioned yours I had to look on eBay for a few & that Post Office there seems about right for Ponies too!!! (the one on Amazon). It's on my eBay watch list now
I don't like pics of myself online either, so I understand xxx

Oh yes, you're right, I think it might be the right size for ponies. Awww, already looking forward to your pics showing one of your ponies behind the counter, serving another pony customer! :lovey:

Have to buy it first

Yeah, I realised, I just tried to imagine how cute a Pony Post Office would look like. ;) Well, you're giving me an idea here, I could have a pony ride one of my model trains. Pity I only have 00 and H0 gauge locos and rolling stock though, they're too small for ponies. They would look awesome riding a garden railway train set. :biggrin:

A train set to fit G1 Ponies is one of my dreams!!! It's all about literally building the world!!!

I used to own a bigger scale model train set as a child, that would have been perfect for the ponies. The loco was completely out of scale, but she would have been an ideal engine to pull a train filled with hapy ponies. :cry:
That was the loco: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/faller-train-3823-locomotive-tender-131022482. She would need to pull open wagons, so the ponies can stand in them and enjoy the view. :lol: The closed passenger coaches are too small for them. Well, perhaps the babies would fit.
-
That's a beautiful engine!!! Doesn't look like Tracks or Steamer would fit though...
-
No, not on the engine, but on a suitable flat wagon just behind the loco, acting as a tender, so it would look if the pony was driving. :lol:

That would have to do xxx
