Hi Mr. Bachmann:

Here are two sugar plantation style locos that would be a neat follow up to the Indy:

1) Baldwin 'LIZARD' was built for the Lower Lafourche Planting and Manufacturing Company operators of a sugar cane plantation near Houma in Louisiana and numbered 29102 with a build date of June 1906.

There are a few living examples of sugar can engines in Australia. Tasmania has a very interesting narrow gauge line that works with the rack rail system, Mount lyell minning company now know as the West Coast Wilderness Railway.
