    Today I am suggesting the combined Atlantic Coast and Truro Newquay route set in 1960. This route runs for approximately 44.5 miles from Par at one end and Chacewater at the other with both lines meeting at Newquay. The section from Chacewater to Newquay closed in 1963, hence the chosen time period.
    Stations included are...

    Par
    Luxulyan
    Bugle
    Roche
    St Columb Road
    Quintrell Downs
    Newquay
    Trewerry & Trerice Halt
    Mitchell and Newlyn Halt
    Shepherds
    Goonhavern Halt
    Perranporth
    Perranporth Beach Halt
    Mithian Halt
    Goonbell Halt
    St Agnes
    Mount Hawke Halt
    Chacewater

    Set in around 1960 it would allow inclusion and use of long gone Express/Cross Country dmus of Class 120.

    Hopefully this suggestion sparked a little bit of nostalgia and interest.
