I do not know of any commercial models. The Hawaiian railroads were mostly narrow gauge agricultural lines. The cane racks used to transport the sugar cane from the fields were basically short 4-wheel flat cars. There were also short 4-wheel box cars. Locos were primairly industrial types from both European and American builders.

Some of the MicroTrains Nn3 freight equipment would be suitable for common carrier narrow gauge like the Oahu Railway. Pictures show box cars, flat cars with and without bulkheads, and tank cars. Locos appear to be a varity of US types

The standard gauge Hilo Railroad used cars similar to those used on the mainland although in latter years somewhat dated . (wood box cars with truss rods, open vestibule passenger cars)

The link below is to the Nn3 org web site. It is a resource for finding most of what is available in Nn3:

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.
