i did notice on one picture near the bottom of the page the left hand pair of rails were well polished and several of the others the inside corners of the track appeared to have had something pass over them.

The tea bag sign (near the end) is the funniest.
"Please keep tea bags etc. in the bin not on the track. thank you"
Presumably the National Postal Museum or the NRM have taken one of the trains?

If its warm and dry down there rust will not develop as quickly so it may have been some time since the last vehicle passed over it.

At least some of the GPO railway kit went to Launceston as it forms the power unit currently (sorry) known as 'the gerkin' - which was at the festiniog quicks and curiosities gala in 2010.
I'ld point you at my pics, but they're not re-uploaded (yet)!

That is a very good kop on their part. The climb at the start must have been pretty daunting.

I think there are a few preserved, Richard, including one at Quainton Road and another at Amberley.
