No Pic or link but the only two diesels I'm aware of by MDC/RH are the old 60T Box Cab and the RS3 now redone by Athearn.
Had a look Ken, Impossible for me to tell from the pics, but it it fits in that box at all it's not original. Generally companies leave more space at the end of their boxes to protect the contents.
Handsome unit though, the empire builder scheme. Their Steam scheme the Glacier one is also a knockout.

PS: What does the pricing on old Marklin run like? Is it a big deal collectible wise in the UK?

Ken,
I looked at my Athearn GP7 which is on a Hi-F drive. Course that doesn't mean it's from then actually..
But it looks like my Athearn shell. The battery boxes(?) under the cab had small see through "vents" but I can't make those out on the photo, even blown up.
