Varney Scale Models
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Varney was a United States manufacturer of model railroad equipment.
[edit] History
The company was founded by Gordon Varney in 1936. Varney's main significance to the model railroad community was his early advocacy of the HO gauge and the development of a reliable motor small enough to power the locomotives of this gauge. Varney's early catalogs contain editorials that clearly show an understanding of the mind of model railroaders that still rings true today. Varney sold the company in 1960.
As of 2007, versions of many former Varney products remain on the market in the Bowser Manufacturing and Life Like lines.
