The Start of my model railroad

Welcome to my little model railroad. The Southern Ohio Railway is a N-scale free lanced model railroad based, very loosely on the hills of southeast Ohio.
The railroad is obviously a work in progress (what model railroad isn't),
and is always subject to change!
Since I started my life in Marietta, Ohio, the railroad's destination is Marietta. After that I am still no too sure what towns the railroad serves. I have small villages and towns underdevelopment and am still debating on what towns are what.
The time for the railroad will be the 1960's to 1980's to include B&O, PRR, PC, Chessie, and Conrail.
There will be coal to haul, grains, lumber, plastics, raw materials and manufactured products to haul away. So let's get started and look at some photos today.

The photo above shows a PRR coal drag heading south to Marietta from Cambridge (where the railroad starts). The line just above the PRR line is the B&O line heading up into the hills north of Marietta. The coal drag will take the Marietta branch into Marietta and then team up with a B&O engine to make the climb up "big hill" to the mine.
The next photo shows a Conrail coal drag heading back down to Marietta through a small village.

Here is a B&O F7 spotting a few cars on an industrial siding in a


small village while the PRR coal drag rumbles through the streets of the village! Watch out where you walk! Tolerances are close!
Both B&O and PRR run through this small village---talk about congestion!
Obviously, the rails go where they did not in real life, or the villages and towns that exists have been "conviently" moved to fit the model space.
Once the railroad is fully operational, trains will originate at Cambridge with destinations off line to Zanesville and further north, with a branch line running into the hills for the mine and a small village.
Marietta will the destination/origin for freight for the railroad.

Well, this was a quick introduction. Check back again for further updates!
