Date: 04/15/07 12:49 Re: Remember the Varney Dockside ? Author: 4-12-2 A LOT of people's very first HO locomotive, especially in the days before Athearn and others!
The engine in the photo is interesting in its own right. I'll have to do some research on it. Date: 04/15/07 21:22 Re: Remember the Varney Dockside ? Author: MojaveBill Years ago, Max Gray or somebody made a casting that would turn these little guys into cab forwards! (I didn't buy one)
Date: 04/15/07 21:49 Re: Remember the Varney Dockside ? Author: px320 The tender is more interesting. If I remember correctly it is ex-Central Pacific.

(I didn't buy one) I remember that and I almost bought one! Dave Date: 04/16/07 16:46 Re: Remember the Varney Dockside ? Author: gate5 I remember the valve gear kit you could get. Those tiny rivets and they had to
be pounded down just right so the gear wouldn't bind. Not easy when you are 12 years old. I wish I still had mine old Dockside. I don't know where I lost it but it was probably during college when "Mom" cleaned my room out when I was gone..... oh well maybe someone will bring it back - only wishing.
