Hi all. Well, putting the finishing touches on the GO edition of the model before sending her to the paint shop, but I need a couple of details clarified.They are all concerning the rear of the unit, as people have been most helpful regarding pics of the front and sides. 1. Re the safety chain and drop step: Do GO units have them on the rear platform, or is it a solid handrail as on the front?2. MU and HEP connections: Are both on rear, and where?? I'm guessing both are there, probably under the anticlimber. Not sure.3. What kind of headlight does GO have on the rear? Is it dual or single??4. Do GO units have rear numberboards, or are roadnumbers just painted on the unit?I think that's all. Once these details are clarified and finished I can send it to the paint shop.Thanks again to all who have helped. (or are going to )Ray
This is the best I could do Ray. Not many people seem interested in taking pictures of rear of locomotives. It looks like this unit has rear numberboards.- Andrew

Solid handrail as built...I'm sure that they were modified by CN when rebuilt though.>2.
