Here we go again.. Uncle Irv jump the gun and made the SW1500 like a SW7 which EMD early plans was a longer SW1200 but,that design was scrap so,a all new body was designed with EMD's new 360 degree view cab.
Back to topic..A photo would be the best way when Athearn SW1500 is involved because of the BB SW7/SW1500,the true BB SW1500 and the new RTR SW1500 that uses plastic handrails correctly mounted on the deck or along the side of the hood..
I would call Athearn and speak to their parts department about handrails for the BB SW1500.

At one point (early) Athearn called what we call an SW7 an SW1500. You sometimes will see instruction sheets that have SW1500 cows & calves.

Does anyone I have any suggestions on replacing handrails for said loco? The model I had bought cheap lacked them, and I need a full set
