I got an old Kato/Atlas MEC RS-11 from US ebay. The model is in close to perfect condition and the excellent drive is still a smooth runner. Got lubed anyway and enjoyed working with a model where the parts are made to perfectly fit.
To my surprise fits a Tsunami "drop in" sound decoder without any problems. I added LEDa, painted the roof dark green, added some small details and weathered it to be in the early 1980s.
Just forgot to plug the bell into the hole at the top of the long hood.

There should be also some very old MEC Atlas GP7 and GP38 in harvest gold. I will have an eye on US ebay.
