I usually don't mess with diesels but I've been having a bit of fun with my JointedRail's Club membership and thought I'd share,

A 2-8-2 Mikado which has just been fired up simmers in the background outside the engine house as a empty steam powered DPU coal train bound for the mine rumbles down the mainline with 4 of these 2-8-0 Consolidation Steam Locomotives, one on the point while 3 of them are in mid-train.

I agree with shebashetan7, the 1950's (or 1960's) would be a great time period. You will need to make bigger logs as there was a lot old growth coming out of the woods back then.
Regards,

Almost all old growth trees were clear-cut down in the mid 1800's, and early 1900's

Not really. Depends on where the cutting was happening and what method of cutting was being used. Here in the central Sierra Nevada there are still stands of old growth timber left.
In Pennsylvania, (and almost every other State), each and every tree was cut down (aside from a choice few historic trees that were spared), at one point of time, or another, leaving the land totally deforested, and severely eroded of topsoil, in the era of the Dustbowl ... The Redwoods and Muir Woods were deforested, aside from a choice few historic trees that were spared
