As I recall (being a long-time HO modeler until I went to O scale forty-five years ago), AF also
used the Varney hoppers and tank cars.
The High-F drive was an attempt to cut costs to bring more budget-conscious people into the scale; it was not a success, and?
they soon returned to a decent geared drive.

And a bit more useless trivia--in HO, Gilbert used the Varney F unit as their's.? I don't know if it was the entire unit or just the shell.? I think it was also mentioned that a couple of the freight cars came from other sources too.
I was always admiring Gilbert's version of the North Coast Limited.? The S version with it's PA's just didn't float!? The North Coast Limited was one of a very few passenger consists i'd ever seen 1:1
