ActsAsTaggableOn after own tag implementation

Question

I had my own implementation of tags in my rails application and wanted to replace it by the ActsAsTaggableOn gem. I generated the migration and deleted all the migrations with tags in it, but forgot to rollback first, so I just did rake db:reset. Now the schema looks fine with tag and taggable in it, but if I try Tags out in the Console, by just typing Tag i get

NameError: uninitialized constant Tag

What causes this error, I thought I just did like in the Railscast.

My schema.rb looks like this:

# encoding: UTF-8
# This file is auto-generated from the current state of the database. Instead
# of editing this file, please use the migrations feature of Active Record to
# incrementally modify your database, and then regenerate this schema definition.
#
# Note that this schema.rb definition is the authoritative source for your
# database schema. If you need to create the application database on another
# system, you should be using db:schema:load, not running all the migrations
# from scratch. The latter is a flawed and unsustainable approach (the more migrations
# you'll amass, the slower it'll run and the greater likelihood for issues).
#
# It's strongly recommended to check this file into your version control system.

    t.string   "location"
  end

  add_index "users", ["email"], :name => "index_users_on_email", :unique => true

end

Thanks for your help!

I had to have a model, to get it work in the console.
