Here is a Lionel M1a on the left. I had two at one time, then sold them off. I never liked the massive lubricator linkage on these, it would have been nicer just to leave them off. They had really nice sounds at the time, especially after correcting the chuff rate. I believe these were one of the first few models with the dual Fat Boy speakers.
And here is a 3rd Rail M1a sitting on my old turntable. I need to unpack this beast and get it weathered up soon. This had factory EOB and RS4. I think I put the Lionel M1a ROM in it a couple years ago.
