Hello, As Casey noted, the three Ohio Central coaches are stored at the NHCR shops in North Stratford. Those are some nice looking cars, at least from the outside, but then I am partial to Tuscan red (probably from first riding the N&W when I was a kid). It was a little far, but I also think the...
