With regards to my model of the time it was just a small layout with hidden storage sidings added....I did get a free copy of 'RM' but lost it along time ago
I believe there is serious discusion about reopening the whole route back to Meldon to try and relieve traffic conjestion and give an alternative to the Dawlish Route in bad weather.

Best wishes,
