    A slightly unusual suggestion, this, but Ireland's 5ft 3in gauge Dublin Area Rapid Transit line from Howth/Malahide to Greystones would make for an interesting addition to TSW, I feel. The line includes city operations, as well as a famous cliffside section near Dalkey and Killiney, and at 33 miles, fits well within the capabilities for TSW.
    Also possible could be an extension to the commuter town of Maynooth, which would allow Western Commuter line diesel operations to be added.
    As far as rolling stock, up to 3 trains could be modelled (2 EMU, 1 DMU (if the Maynooth line is included)).
    These include;
    • IÉ 8100 Class 2-Car EMU,
    • IÉ 8520 Class 4-Car EMU,
    (Both units handle DART line services)
    • For a possible Maynooth extension, the IÉ 2900 Class 4-Car DMUs could be added, as they handle all commuter services on that line.
