This steel gondola in the background is on my things to make list. I'll be happy to send it to you when it's finished. Another one will be the same gondola with another 6 ft of wood rails on each side to fit more beets.
I have the Pentrex video tape "Sugar Beet Trains" !
Unless your sugar package says Pure Cane Sugar ... it is made from Sugar Beets ... YUM ! (I learned his by watching Mr Rogers Neighborhod TV Show with my son yeras ago).:hehe:
In my sisters hometown in western Nebraska, the major industry is the sugar beet factory. One day a sugar dust exploson rocked the facility collapsing several concrete silos, creating a quake that broke many windows in town.
