I'm planning a new N layout set in the eastern US so as to take advantage of mountains, tunnels, bridges, and be able to incorporate perhaps coal, steel or sawmill as industries.
Problem is, I want to ID a prototype RR from that region, circa 1960's-1970's or so, diesel, freight and passenger, but have no clues. I'm told the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Clinchfield RR ran there, but I have no pics of what the engines or rolling stock looked like.
So, my request is two-fold:
1) identify a suitable RR for that part of the country
2) come up with pics of locos and cars so I'll know what to look for when buying
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I just hate being a newbie!!
