After spending many years modeling the Maryland & Delta freelance railroad, we’ve decided to model a prototype.  Sort-of.  I’ve always loved the Western Maryland Railway.  When I lived in Baltimore, it was one of the hometown railroads and always reminded me of a model railroad.  It was small in size, but classy.  And, the WM ran Fs and Alcos way after other railroads had retired them.  Time period has never been an issue.  The mid-1970s was the time that I did most of my railfanning, and times were a-changing.  In a single day, you could see WM, C&O, B&O, Chessie, Rdg, LV, C&NJ, PC, EL, and N&W with just a little effort.  Lashups were varied, and big trains had more than 2 units.  And they sounded so good stomping up those mountain grades!
