I found a listing on Ebay that appears to be a kit bashed Varney streamliner. Here's the Ebay listing.
[url]https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Varney-HO-Scale-Brass-4-6-4-Hudson-Streamline/184386727250?
For those who can't see the listing for whatever reason, here's a picture of the loco from the listing.
And here's an incomplete kit for a Varney streamliner, which this loco seems to be kit bashed from.
Just thought I'd show you guys in case any of you guys want to jump on an opportunity for obtaining a rare Varney model, even if it's kitbashed.

I saw that earlier as well. I like the semi streamlined look much better than the loco in its stock form. Very cool, although if I had it it would be repainted into some more "Streamliner appropriate" colors. I can't stand all these plain black engines!

Nice looking!

Yeah, I really like how this one looks, too. It's one of those things that shouldn't look good but it absolutely does, for some reason. I really like how whoever made this kit bash made it. Looking at this guy's other listings, though, he has some pretty sweet deals on Hobbyline and Rivarossi stuff.Although, I haven't had any experiences with Hobbyline stuff, so I have no idea if they're actually good or not.
