San Francisco was a hugely important port in WW2, so you might want to look up some info on that. I know that Model Railroader has done a number of articles on the area over the years. California sounds like the right setting - mountains to ocean - for what you want. Do som eresearch on-line, and look into local libraries, historical societies, etc, etc for info not only on the railroads, but on what industries, towns, cities, and life in general was like at the time. If you can get your hands on a Walthers Catalog (the printed version, not the web site) you can not only look at the stuff available (and yes it is true the HO has more military stuff than N - for now), but in past editions, they had a whole section on military dioramas which might give you some ideas.
