Between 1945 and 1949 Varney produced an HO cast metal F-3 EMD diesel locomotive in two versions. One with 2 power trucks, and one with a single power truck. The loco utilized zinc pressure die-cast parts and featured a high level of detail, including louvered ventilator fan housings on the roof, windshield wipers on the window screens, fuel tank filler caps, visible structual bracing, portholes, number boards, nose grabs, diesel air horns, ladders and doors. The F-3 was also offered in a non-powered dummy unit using the same body castings. B units were also offered, in both powered and unpowered versions. The F-3 was driven by a Pittman 5-pole DC-60 motor. Varney fitted these models with scale diesel truck frames, and gave the modeler the option of either 40" or 36" scale wheels for the dummy units. $19.75 was the cost for either an F-3 A or B powered unit kit, and dummy units were $7.50. 

Bench tested running, could use some oil. Would be a great restoration project. Its also nice that the cast shell has all the ladders intact.
