Hello Mark,
my choise to Southern Railway has fallen some years ago, when I was looking for a loco and some cars to build a Inglenook switching layout. A friend sold me a Southern GP38 from his collection and I really like the paint scheme. The history is also intresting. At least, my favorite locomotives are Shays and I was happy by spotting the Graham County Railroad, that runs Shay locomotives and interchanged directly with the Southern Railway.
So this is the reason why I setteled my layout to the south of North Carolina.
I'll take a try on weathering soon. I've 5 locomotives and 36 cars, so this is not to much to get them all weathered.
Cheers, Gerd
