The very early production runs of these engines came in a kit version, which is what Holt Apgar bought. He improved the handrails and cab steps, which were painted orange (with some weathering). He replaced the side grills with the perforated ones still sold by Des Plaines Hobbies. He also added the road numbers to the number boards, and AF-compatible couplers.
