"La Zafra"
On30 Cuban Sugar Railway

After two tours of steam sugar cuban railway, we wanted to have a model of what we have seen. It is a modular layout and will be participating in numerous shows in Europe. First appearance was in Expometrique in Paris (November 2001).

It was built by Bernard Junk and Jack Trèves with the help of Detlev Horn. Special thanks to Marie-Jeanne (Bernard's wife) for supporting the team.
