Yep, very worth it. A look around their exhibition and shop, a cream tea in the Pulman coach and, if it's a nice day, a ride on the BHLR.

I'll see if i can plan it in as my plan for a days sailing has been scuppered by an easterly!

The shop at the South Devon railway is worth a visit too.

If you are going to Buckfastleigh to the South Devon Railway, pop across to the other side of "town" to Ratio House, its where Wills & Ratio kits are made. They too have a good model shop plus they have a full display of all their model. They're not open at the weekends though.

I work just up the road at Newton abbot i didn't know Ratio were there.

The model shop at the old Okehampton station is also worth a visit.

Pecorama, you may need a 4x4 and climbing gear to get into and out of the car park. The roads in Beer are a bit step in places. Bet it isnt much fun on an icey day in winter!
We went last year, i liked it, the 3 year old didn't want to leave, teenager hated it and the wife just wanted to get to lyme  regis before the fossil shops closed.

I last went in 1996 I think.  Loved it!  I couldn't afford anything in the shop sadly.   I should have saved my pocket money.
