Hi guys, has anyone seen Digital Traction's newest post? looks like the line will become a reality!

Yes and it looks fantastic. Cannot wait to give the radial a run along it.

It looks like we will get the Seaton Branch too. A route for the M7. Personally I like Seaton Junction station for the layout and the eggs and milk traffic. I hope DT will do coaches and wagons for the two lines. A SR pull-push set for the Seaton Branch and Maunsell 58ft Rebuilts for Lyme Regis would be nice. A typical Southern brake van and a few Southern goods wagons ... I am dreaming.

I do love these small branch lines, they are like the model railways I always dreamed of but never started!

Very much looking forward to the release of the Adams Radial and these two branch lines.

Looks like WR 14xx and 64xx also worked auto trains on the branch.

Re: coaches for Lyme Regis branch/Adams Radial 4-4-2T. From DT's Facebook page, 11 July 2017:

'The Radial will come with LSWR 48ft Stock which were rebuilt under Maunsell to add another 10ft of room, they will be done at a later stage but the 48ft stock will come with the radial in Salmon and Pink and early SR'.

The 2 Western Region locomotives and trailers didn't last long they couldn't handle the the gradients,for the final few years a 2 Car DEMU set was used on the branch,by then the through summer coaches from Waterloo had stopped running.
The whole route from Salisbury to Exeter was scheduled to close by Western Region who did their usual hatchet job on the route,it was only the start up of Network South East that saved it.
