Waimanalo Olomana Steam Loco





Railroads in Hawaii? Yes! The islands were once crisscrossed with rail lines to serve the state´s gigantic sugar and fruit plantations. You can recreate this Pacific paradise with this authentic Hawaiian steam loco.♂The real Olomana is now at the Smithsons Museum in Washington, D.C., and this LGB model is as elaborately decorated as the museum piece. A low-profile drive mechanism preserves the authentic gap between the boiler and chassis.
