Varney was a manufacturer back in the '50's. I never had any of their diecast powered diesels, but their most famous loco was their "Little Joe" It was a zamac cast model of the B&O RR #98 "Dockside". It sold for $15 as I recall. I still have mine and it still runs great. After I grew up, I changed the cylinders for the Kemtron ones that had all the nuts and bolts and drain cocks on them. I also added a kit that had all the monkey motion and better valve crossheads aqnd guides. A lot of Varney's ads that appeared in the model press were photographed by the late John Allen.
