Many, many years ago, I designed and built a power complex for Pepeekeo Sugar Corp. on the big island of Hawaii. The unit was designed to burn bagasse. They had been dumping it into the sea until the EPA stopped them. The Walthers paper mill would do very nice for a sugar mill since Australia's sugar cane industry is a year round concern. If you wanted to go steam, you could get a nice little 0-4-0 from Modelpower for about $28. You could look thru' Walthers catalog for a small diesel if you want to go that way. But whatever you do on your layout, don't forget to leave enough space for your bagasse pile. Sugar mills using cane produce tons and tons of bagasse. Have fun.
