This store will take you down memory lane - collectibles of every kind - especially train sets, aircraft kits and models and car models. My husband bought a model of the USS Arizona and we spent over an hour in here just looking at the incredible inventory. The store hours are a bit weird and the shopping center it is in looks very run down i.e. broken parking lot etc., but well worth coming to visit if you are interested in this type of unusual stuff.

Much more than train stuff. This shop has lots of toys and models of everything imaginable. Well worth browsing. Definitely go if you are a train collector. If you are on a cruise ship take the free trolley shuttle which runs every 15 minutes from the port to this shopping center.

Toy and collectable store with a somewhat surly owner. There are a lot of items available, including Disney, Lionel and other brands. Prices seem a little steep, but that can probably be attributed to the closeness of the cruise ship dock.

We are a well behaved, put together family of 4. Our children are ages 10 and 13, yet the store clerk watched us like a hawk, following us from aisle to aisle, giving us the stink-eye as if we were shoplifters. She told my 10-year-old not to touch anything with her "greasy kid fingers". As soon as we left, she followed us outside to watch us walk away. I would NEVER give this woman a dime of my hard-earned money! Not only is the clerk's behavior inappropriate and off-putting, but the store is over-crowded, dark and a hodgepodge of merchandise. Don't waste your time.

This is a neat little hobby shop but unfortunately I didn't find anything for my n scale layout. They has some n scale but most of the train stuff was Lionel.

BeachRail is a toy museum in a toy store. They have classic diecast cars not found anywhere else and a large selection of Lionel Train items.There is a variety of quality Hawaiian themed toys and books to bring home as gifts. Plus educational and just plain fun toys.

Browsing through their selection brings out nostalgia in all visitors not just hobbyists. You will find old diecast ships, diecast cars of the 50's, plastic model kits of 1960's Batmobile and Lost in Space's Jupiter 2, models of the original Star Trek starship and characters. There are also modern plastic model submarines, plastic models of cars, planes, diecast airplanes from past and present. Look around, you will definitely find something that reminds you of your childhood. The products here are beyond what you can find in a regular or chain toy store. This is almost like a toy museum--except you can buy the products.

The educational toys include a wide selection of accurate sea and land wildlife from Safari, unique hand puppets of scallops, dragons, even a wolf disguised as a sheep.

My advice is that if you see something special and you like it, buy it on the spot. It'll be hard to find on the internet plus the costs of shipping and handling. I am told some die cast items costs three times as much in Australia.

For cruise ship passengers, the BeachRail is located in the Harbor Mall and can be accessed thru the free Harbor Mall Trolley. Kalapaki Beach Hut across the street offers great grass fed beef burgers, there are other dining establishments in the Harbor Mall.
