I was sent this vintage Varney Union Pacific F3 Locomotive last year from a viewer known as HO Scale Modeler. According to them the engine was bought by a train store 50 or 60 years ago and was never sold until they found it and sent it in. The engine showed no signs of starting after a simple test so from there it was a matter of trying to figure out what was wrong with it and mend damage that had been done to its chassis.
