Another group of old American sugar locos emerges from storage for display in Cuba.

The 2-8-0 that still has paint on it is Minaz 1816 that Porta did some upgrades to increase it efficiency. I'm glad to see it preserved.

More information on it here http://www.martynbane.co.uk/modernsteam/ldp/1816/minaz1816.htm

It looks more like a junkyard than a display. I'm sure it's a work in progress. Maybe they'll do something nice with them.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

At least they're not cut up. Being there for zafra in 2001, 02 & 03 was amazing. Got in just in time as most of the mills closed in 2004.

The program in Cuba seems to be quite large:
