When I was a young lad, I had a neighbor next door who had this wonderful elevated trackwork going from one room to another in his third floor, old house. I remember that he had the expensive Varney line diesel F engines (probably around $60.00 each for the kits) with the diecast bodies and the belt drives. When I saw his engines, they weren't painted, just the white metal original color. They ran very smoothly and he hand laid all of his track with the Tru-Scale pre-formed milled roadbed with the grooves in which to spike the track. This was HO scale. I don't remember whether he had cars or not at this stage because he didn't stay my neighbor for very long. His railroad excited me quite a bit, and, before long, I spent a week's allowance on a Varney Ore Car Kit, which to me was "the greatest thing since sliced, white bread"!
