True to all of the above but would like to add my experiences with Varney diesels. I have seen all of the above and agree with them. If memory serves me correct Varney made a motor 30 years ahead of everyone else with the V1(steam) and V2 (diesel) motors, they had 7 pole slanted armatures, were really quite and smooth runners. They were also very powerful, a pair of F3's would pull the wall down. I ran mine for a number of years until I wore out the motors and eventually sold them as junk as I could not find anymore parts for the motors. Varney also made some very nice steam engines for their day (1940s until the early 60's). The early ones had brass frames with sprung drivers and weighted about two pounds each with brass tenders. The dulux version had the V1 motors. The economy version had an pittman open frame motor. <br /> <br />SyFrank
