I like most model train persons born in the mid 1940's by the time 1980s arrived had a Penn Line K4. After getting a second one I wanted another one, but not a K4 but a earlier type to pull my set of

Re: Varney PRR L1
Jeff, In 1954 I owned a Penn Line K-4. I was in the USAF in Korea. In the 90's I built every one of the Bowser PRR locos except the GG-1. I always noticed the similarities between the Penn Line and

Re: Varney PRR L1
Bob, ? ?? Lew English bought Penn Line after they went bankrupt and added their locos to the Bowser line. That was in 1962 or so. The L1, along with all other locos, went through changes by Bowser

Re: Varney PRR L1
John,? ?? Thanks for the info but I never said it was a production Varney. It appears to be a kit bash that utilized a Varney chassis to make something else. My question was whether or not there

Re: Varney PRR L1
No. That was originally a Bowser as it remained until production was discontinued. The only Varney 2-8-2¡¯s were the decidedly not Pennsy ¡°Economy¡± and ¡°Super¡± Mikado¡¯s that began around
