I bought the varney F3 at a train show for $5 and the aftermarket clutch was already installed. The interesting thing about it was that with the 3 pole motor and a crude trainset powerpack you could start and run a train at prototypical speeds. With the advances in motor and motor control technology a clutch isn't necessary.
