In the 50's & 60's it was still just the Illinois Central. Lots of Gp 7's & 9's most still in the black with the green diamond herald. I liked the CNW because in your era they still had the route of the 400"s with the green stripes. <br /> Illinois had just about every major railroad going though some part of it, so the choice is up to you. Proto 2000 has Gp's painted in the black IC scheme and they are great runners. <br /> It looks like you have already decided on some of the industies you want to model. Now what you need to do is decide if you want to model a branchline , or a heavyer mainline. <br /> Go to www.NMRA.com. they have so many web sites you can visit we probably wouldn't hear from you for a year. They have all the main model companys, along with tons of model and prototype sites.
