It doesn't have the original painted Delrin bell (unless that was a production change, but I don't think so). It's also missing the shaker, not that it's a loss, since it sounds like exactly what it is: birdshot being shaken in a plastic container. The 2 I have had worn side rods from the pressure of flicking it.
Like mine it has the later weaker Pittman-style motor. My first 0-6-0 got a can motor, and the second got a stack of neodymiums and runs beautifully now.

Nelson let me know if you don't want the other one 
Ken I really love it! They were unique little 6 wheelers.

Is the big thing on the front end a smoke unit or just a weight?

I want one of these
Model Railroader did a story on this & the pic of the real loco doing switching is the SAME exact pic thats in the Varney catalog! 
How do you put in the smoke fluid? Thru the stack or what?

I think you're confusing this with the Varney 0-4-0T "Docksider" ... which, to further confuse the issue, a modified version of the Varney was also sold by Revell.
