I saw the following YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOuqIHfeBRs showing the 30th de Septiembre Cuban sugar mill, HO gauge model train exhibit.
I understand the HO locomotives are stock Bachmann products. I will like more information on the train models used on this exhibit and also on the sugar mill and other scenery shown and the layout plan. I tried contacting the One Model Railway Club in the UK but their website contact address is not valid.
I will appreciate any information from anyone familiar with the steam trains used in Cuban sugar mills circa 1950.

Wonder when Bachmann made the B&O 0-4-0T; knew Rivarossi/AHM/IHC, Varney, Bowser, had, but not Bachmann.
I'd like to have another good quality one.
Absolutely first rate model railroading! I fell in love with the Cuban-inspired layout and was amazed by everything that followed it on the video. My wife asked; "How do they make things so realistic?" The short answer is "magic". [Don't believe me? How about those self-storing sugar cane cars.]
The layouts presented in the video are from the U.K. (England) right? A famous (and probably fictional) English character is Merlin. Merlin is portrayed as a magician in King Arthur Pendragon's court. Hence these outstanding exhibition railways are a product of English magic. [That's my story and I'm sticking with it.]
Arturo, thank you so much for sharing this with us...truly inspirational.
