??
A few years ago, a person I worked with asked me if I wanted a box of "old trains" he had. He had no use for them, so I took them. I the box was a large batch of Varney loco's in various states of repair. I put them away for a "SHORT"???? time. A few days ago I was going through the box and in the bottom was a Varney Yellowstone in pieces and a S.P. AC-12 Cab Forward. The boiler looks like the Yellowstone but was modified to S.P. style. One of the drive frames was extended to the rear / tender. The cab is cast but the front again changed to S.P.?? Both drive units are stamped Varney. I was wondering if anybody anything about this unit. The person who gave the box to me was Rex Varney. If and when I can get my camera to work with this computer, I will take photos of this unit. Thanks. Pete De Beers

Gareth,



I'd be interested in the Eight Ball, MDC 0-6-0(s) and maybe a Hustler
w/Ernst gears. Of course I'm limited on funds so the Eight Ball is probably
out of my reach but still ...

Hey Guys:

I'm am seriously paring down my collection of Vintage model trains. I'm in
Canada but will be travelling to the states next week to visit my Brother
and will ship stuff people want at that time. If you don't know me, well I
haven't been on here in some time I'm pretty sure Nelson or Tony Lucio or
Sean can vouch for my integrity....

I gave a pristine Athearn 1960 or 61 RDC set box that's spoken for I
believe.

Also a Mantua 8 Ball unassembled. It appears as though it never was....

Barr-Nixon Switcher kit

Athearn Hustlers, NOS with or without Ernst Gearing kits.

MDC 0-6-0 Switchers, I think I have three, none fully assembled.

Varney Pullmman kit

Ambroid kits....

I'm going to create a folder to sell this stuff and add pictures as I go....

I will also be making a trip again in October and will do the same thing...

I'll make a document up in pdf so anyone can look at what's there. I'll
replace it as things are sold or I find them....

Everything I ship will go in fixed rate USPS boxes... small or Medium
normally.

Best,
Gareth
