The growing number of non-Australian photos in the CaneSIG image collection provide a glimpse of the different ways of handling sugar cane around the world. While many of the Cuban images feature steam locomotives, the major attraction for railfans, the site also includes wagons, mills and other features of the Cuban scene.
Available modelling resouces (download general bibliography, pdf file) include books by Eatwell, Hungrywolf and Rollinson; a commercial CD of photos and maps from Images of Rail; clinic notes by Ray Walter in the 6th Australian Narrow Gauge Convention book; and several overseas videos.
