Hey Ken,
Athearn's model represents a "Phase 1a" model. The straight hand rails ARE correct for a phase 1a TrainMaster. However, the only phase 1a locos were the 4 demo units and the 10 units of Delaware, Lackawanna & Western first order.
SP did buy a pair of the demo locos, #3 and #4, but altered the hand rails at some point to have the dip found in later production models.
