If you go to the MR club " The Wrecking Crew" web site they model the area you are talking about. They are presently located at West Lake Mall in Bessemer and have one of the best layouts I've seen. Look at the list of members and go to Carey Jenkins web site to send him an email. He is an expert in this area and has been a modeler for 35 years.

Also, if you want a good map of the of the B'ham railroads, go to: http://www.railwaystation.com/
Download their demo map and it will cover the Southeastern U.S. You can zoom in on a city block of B'ham.

Hope this is some help.
