How about the correct phase 1 sill for century 424/425 locomotives?The ones with the inspection holes under the handrails.
Also,various hood styles for the RS11?

I think Alco Models (brass) was the only manufacturer to ever capture the holes in the side sills of a ph1 424. I've never given much stock in it, but does anyone know if you can splice an Atlas ph1 c420 deck into a 424 deck to get those holes/stanchions?
There were 2 relatively indistinct phases of RS11s but the difference is mostly in stanchions. I seem to recall the L&N RS11s used a Ph1 C424 stanchion, and didn't have that huge actuator box on the shutters. But Alco moved to the RS32-36 model to refine changes to the RS11s. (in fact those L&N RS11s might in fact be high-nose RS32s!)
Be warned, Altas' RS11 noses are too long, the batt boxes are too small, and the early (Japan) RS11s (in the yellow box) used RS3 frames of incorrect length.
