Hi Frank,
I think it is safe to say that you wont have anyone complaining about "having seen so many layouts like this" as may happen when modelling other better known locales. In fact you are more likely to have people question if there really had been trains in Morocco, so maybe copying the post cards for use as a side display will stop that.
Big thumbs up though for taking on a very very very unknown prototype, that takes a bit of guts as well as good railroad knowledge and hobby skills/research skills.
Do you plan on making it portable enough to display at train shows?
What brand loco and cars are you using?
The loco in the postcard appears to me to be possibly a 3 truck Heisler or Shay. Does any one have any educated guesses?
