    It would be awesome to see a Plymouth and Kingston line created. The line goes from Plymouth/Kingston to Boston. That would be awesome to see.

    Do you mean the Riviera line from Exeter to Plymouth and Kingswear? That is a great suggestion and one I made set in the 80s (though not to Kingswear as that section shut and now terminates at Paignton with Paignton to Kingswear being a heritage line) which is when I would like to see this route, with Valenta HSTs, Class 50s, 45s, 47s etc. Alternatively it would still make a great route set now with 80xs on the expresses, Castle set HSTs and 158s on the West country regionals, and 150s on the locals. Many would also like to see it in steam which would be nice but I am not the biggest fan of the western locos.

    As Boston is mentioned, suspect the OP means something in Massachusetts.

    Oh yes, I didn't even see Boston in there, or I saw it and thought of Boston in Lincs and just thought they had got confused so just brushed it off.

    I suppose it shows the importance of explaining a suggestion.
