Varney Tank Cars???

Bob Macklin All Messages By This Member #4528 I am familiar with the Varney box cars and reefers of the early and mid 50's. I have some with metal sides and wood floors and roofs. Then I have some with metal sides and plastic floors and roofs. One is reefer wit plastic floor and roof. It is in a yellow box. It was purchased in 1955. I was at Edwards AFB at the time. What I am wondering about is Varney metal tank cars of the same period. I have seen some Varney metal tank cars with cast metal frames. What should I expect when looking at Varney tank cars of the early 50? I'm trying to relive my childhood! Bob Macklin Seattle, Wa
Victor Bitleris All Messages By This Member #4530 开云体育 Don't forget about Thomas models, they made all metal tank cars, I have 2.? I have the highly sought after Roma Wine, six dome, and a Philgas car.? The frames are metal casting as are the domes and ends.? The tank is a rolled piece of sheet metal.? They made these cars in O scale as well as HO. Regards, Vic B.

Hi Bob, I am not sure, but I don't recall varney making metal tank cars. If they did, finding some would be a big problem. They had plastic body car made from the 1960 on, with metal frames in a large selection of road names, different numbers, and colors. They changed the line to all plastic parts and kept the nicely done tanks. Athearn along with Champ, Silvine, and maybe some else I can't recall made all metal tank cars. Mantua made them but covered the tank with different decorated embossed paper tank coverings. Silver streak had a metal frame but nothing else was metal except the dome (wood tank with printed metallic paper covering and cast metal dome).? ?In varney I have 26 or 27 different ones.? ?frank
