I thought there was only the one release. Rapido says the VERTICAL handrails are there:

We've taken this model out of the Prime Movers by Rapido range and given it etched metal walkways and factory-installed vertical handrail grabs.

The body is die-cast so drilling for the end grab irons will be challenging, to say the least.

This M-R New Products blurb says user applied hand grabs:

Did they do a second release of these cars because according to moder railroader the cars came with factory installed grab irons. The one i purchased i had to add them on? Just wondering .
