I believe the metal Varney kits were made until the mid to late 1950's. Varney switched to plastic kits which later became TMI (Train Miniatures of Illinois I think). I think some of "Walthers Train Line" freight cars still use some of the old Varney plastic kit dies. I don't know if the metal and plastic car production overlapped to any great extent. Wish I could be more specific on dates, but that's the best I can do. Ron H.
