Erie & Southern Railroad Co.
Scale: N
Gauge: Standard


Prototype: Freelanced. Inspiration includes NKP, B&O.
Era: 1953. The end of steam (transition era)
Region: Ohio
Railroad: Regional. Would be a Class I road during this time period.

Space:
9x6x3. Corner layout, L-shaped. Two 3x6 pieces butted together to form the L shape. The available space is in the shape of a backwards 7, with the longer 9x3 portion along the first wall, and the shorter section at the top.

Governing Rolling Stock: Varies. I have many types of rolling stock available, but I would like to avoid flatcars and longer boxcars.


Relative Emphasis:

|______________________V_______________________|
Track/Operation ---------------------------------------- Scenic realism
|_________________________V____________________|
Mainline Running --------------------------------------------- Switching

Operation Priorities:
  1. Mainline operation
  2. Local freight
  3. Passenger operations
  4. Interchange traffic
  5. Small yard/switching operations
Typical operating Crew: 1-2

=======================================

Here is a sample trackplan I've been considering. It's not 100% what I want, but the overall design is what I'm looking for.
