I'm planning on modeling the Conrail and Chessie lines that ran through Carthage in Cincinnati, Ohio. I lived in back of the National Distillers/Gilby's Gin plant(Conrail line) and got to see lot's of switching and loading of cars as well as a constant stream of trains running through as much as every half hour. The Chessie line which sits about 1 1/2 mile straight across from the Conrail had switches that went to stamping plants and trucking companies. Of course now all of this is owned by Norfolk Southern. <br /> <br />The National Distillers plant is now in the process of being torn down by Jim Beam as it has no use for that end of the plant. I went out there a couple of weeks before they started to dismantle parts of the buildings and took pictures to get an accurate layout as well as building construction and just recently was able to get a hold of a rail map of both lines. My Girlfreind thinks I'm crazy[:D]
