Hawaii Railroads Modeling | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I'm curious if anyone is modeling any Hawaii railroads. I saw a cool video today about one on the island of Hawaii. If you model one, what do you use for rolling stock, engines, etc? Do you model sugar cane ops? What do you model?

The only models that I am aware of are made in G scale.

Bob,

Thanks for all the great pointers. I'll check out that book. The Army 25 tonner sounds neat too.

The only Hawaiian model railroad I know of is HO. The Big Island Railroad is a beautiful model. This is their website. http://www.bigislandrail.zoomshare.com/.

Keep in mind most but not all railroads on the islands were narrow gauge. Two are running today as tourist railroads. One on the main island and the other here in Maui.
