Where must I have been to find these on display? Anybody know what they came from? Look West.

The number plate is off of Marble Cliff Quarries number 23, formerly Donald Davis' 196, in Hillsboro, Oregon or Poneto, Indiana. The builders plate is off of Kahului RR number 1 "Claus Spreckels" in Kahului.

The Builders plate is a crude copy.

Since It's "waycar" Wednesday, this might help. Plates were on display at this small Mom & Pop museum.

The caboose of course isn't real. Were there ever any standard gauge operations in Hawaii?

Well, it's been a fun trip, sitting at the Kona airport waiting to fly back to Kansas City. Started out in Oahu, wound up on the
Big Island where I found this small museum. Didn't have time to do much research, just looked around for a few minutes, & kept driving. Had some neat stuff from the Hilo RR.

Yes, the Big Island of Hawaii, which you were apparently on, was standard gauge.
