I have some links to sugar - one - I really like sugar - LOL. Two - my dad worked at a Holly Sugar plant in Imperial, CA when I was in High School. My wife and I also love to visit Hawai'i - original home of C&H Sugar. (You think I'm cheap on my train set - you should see how cheap we are going to Hawai'i!)
If anyone has any sugar cars (I have one Holly Sugar Tyco working hopper - kind of rough but okay) for sale or trade, please let me know.
I'd like to eventually model the Holly Sugar plant in Imperial as it was a huge landmark growing up, plus my dad worked there. Since the Imperial Valley is below sea level, every time you drive by it you can see how far below sea level you are, and it's on the main road between Brawley and El Centro.
Here's some pics of it.
