Although the layout is fictious, it is broadly based on the station at Eye in North Suffolk. A couple of books have been published that include information about the branch line that may be of interest:

The Mellis & Eye Railway

ISBN 13: 978 0 85361 720 4

The main reference book featuring a comprehensive description of the line and the area which it served. With over 110 pages and some 48 photographs the book is well worth reading if interested in the line. The book also contains a map of the route, track plans of the stations and several timetables.
