Sugar Cane

[jrbarney]

GDRMCo,
You said any ideas, so here goes. If you have any place where the railroad track crosses a highway, show a single car accident. Forty years ago when I was stationed in Puerto Rico, sugar cane was hauled to the mills in trucks and ox carts. The Puerto Rican railroad no longer existed. Wherever cane fell off an overloaded vehicle, (they all were), it was crushed by cars and trucks, resulting in a spot slicker than sour owl manure and in turn that would lead to an accident. Think I remember some sugar cane railroad car and engine plans in either Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette or Railroad Model Craftsman. You might want to run a search at the Index of Magazines at this site.
Buenas dias.

Hi ive been on the forums for a while and i want to model an aussie sugar cane railroad. I call my rr company the Queensland Sugar Co. Anyone got any ideas on what i could include on my layout. So far i have thought of having the layout which is only 2.5ftX7ft divided in half with one side showing the cane feilds and the other showing the sugar mill.

Any ideas are welcome.
