[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CNJ831</i> <br /><br />Cuban sugar plantations, Hawaiian pineapple plantations, Brazilian banana plantations, all of which were served by rail. Most were narrow gauge but you could certainly cheat on this in HO as the difference between standard gauge and narrow wouldn't be all that obvious when using very small locomotives. Best to set such a layout in the 1930's to 1960's time frame. Plenty of documentation out there about all three produce areas (there were others like rubber), including several big-time Hollywood movie reels from the 30's and 40's. <br /> <br />CNJ831 <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I may move to N or Z scale like to mentioned. Eh...everyone else thanks for the ideas. I'm actually wanting to model florida and I will take alot of your help into consideration. I'm planning a trip to colonial photo & hobby to see what they have...
