This video showing 3D scanning of the Mail Rail is a must-see: Morning Report

ScanLAB posted a video on Vimeo showing its 3D scans of the Mail Rail.
Linn's Stamp News gives you a quick look at what's going on in the world of stamp-collecting.
1. Mail Rail 3D
Mail Rail, British Postal Museum & Archive from ScanLAB on Vimeo.
The British Postal Museum & Archive explains the Mail Rail project on its website:
Running directly under the feet of millions of unsuspecting Londoners and passing many of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, The Post Office Underground Railway – Mail Rail – ran largely unnoticed between 1927 and 2003 from Whitechapel in the east to Paddington in the west. Shut down a decade ago, the world’s first driverless, electrified railway has been frozen in time – until now.
As part of The Postal Museum, the British Postal Museum & Archive will open this forgotten masterpiece of innovation and industry to the general public for the first time in 2016, with an underground ride following a few years later.
