    I think that the South West portion of the Great Western Main Line (GWML) should be added to TSW2 (i.e. the section from Taunton to Plymouth). There are some brilliant scenic options on the route, like the coastal wall at Dawlish Warren, as well as some steep grades such as Dainton Bank (the second steepest in the UK). The historic station buildings at Exeter, Totnes and a few other stations would also be great scenic locations. Locomotive-wise I was thinking either the Class 43 or Class 802 (both in GWR Livery) and some freight locomotives as the route is a key artery of the freight line from Cornwall to East and West London. Freight companies include Colas Rail, Imery and EWS
    What do you think?
