30th de Septiembre - Cuban Sugar Mill
Built by the 32C group is this HO gauge Cuban layout! The layout made its first appearance at our own Southwold MRE 2006. The layout runs passenger and freight trains, much of the traffic being generated by the featured sugar mill.
One of the group members has been to Cuba (more than once!) and has carried out some first hand research!

GRANDADS’ TRAINS
0 Gauge
This is a very popular and nostalgic layout with lots of movement. The layout is the result of collecting tinplate trains, mainly Hornby & Bassett Lowke, over a considerable number of years. Some stock dates from the 1920’s to modern issue Corgi (Bassett Lowke) as well as Ace trains. The layout has three continuous 3-rail tracks, built from brass track, with cast chairs and wooden sleepers, with passing loops, enhanced with a good selection of mainly Hornby tinplate buildings and other lineside items. Size 20’ X 9’
