I have seen photos of the Dekalb model board and the switches to and from the S/B Brighton bypass track had been removed by the time of the rebuilding. According to retired Trainmaster M. R. Deckinger, access to the Brighton line S/B via the bypass was removed in the late 1930s although the N/B Brighton to bypass remained until the realignment in the late 1950s. I could never understand why an access between the bypass tracks and the Brighton Line was removed since the infrastructure was there for it anyhow. It would have allowed much more flexibility in the event of a service disruption or even allowed for additional regular service patterns.
