To send a postcard you must make sure that you have a working Post Office.
There are two types of post that you can send.
• Internet post (to friends and other users running LEGO LOCO)
(details on page 22 “international postcards” )
• Mystery post. To Santa, Nessie, the Mayor etc.
Although your PC does not need to be connected to the Internet to send
and receive Mystery postcards, both types of mail require you to have a
working mail route within your LEGO LOCO layout.
To send mail you must place a post office on a train track. Trains pulling a mail
carriage
must
be able to get from the post office to a tunnel.
Post Office
The Post Office contains everything you need to
write, design, store and send postcards to your
friends.
Left Click on the Post Office. Here you will find the
postman at his desk. You can click on the items
around him to access everything related to the Post
Office.
There is a book on the desk that will take you to your postcard album (to
store your postcards), a ‘Pen And Pencil Pot’ to take you to the postcard
editor (to create or edit postcards) and a rubbish bin (drop postcards in this
to delete them).
Receiving and Saving Postcards
A pile of postcards next to the postman means that you have received
postcards from somebody!
You can click on this pile of postcards to view them. The postman will hold
each one up individually for you as you click on the pile.
You can see the reverse text side of each card by clicking the ‘flip’
button.
All cards can be sent to your Postcard Album for safekeeping. Simply click
on the card, your cursor will change into a mini-
postcard, now click on the Postcard Album sitting on
the desk. This card will now be saved into the Album.
In the same way you can send a card to the editor, instead
of clicking on the Album click on the Pen and Pencil Pot.
In the same way as placing a card in the Postcard Album,
you can delete a postcard. Click on the postcard and drag it
into the Rubbish Bin.
