Gary-- The H12-44 had at least 4 different body styles. It's been a while since I last saw one of the Perfect Scale copies, and I can't recall if it represents the last (1956-61) or second-to-last (1953-56) body style. Photos and descriptions can be found at pages FM 328 to FM 330 of "The Second Diesel Spotter's Guide", published by Kalmbach. Milwaukee Road had 16 H12-44s with the squared-off 1953-56 body style, Nos. 700-710 (former 2315-2325) and 740-744 (former 2310-2314). None of these units had sill-mounted stantions and handrails. A great source of prototype locomotive photos is the Fallen Flags site: www.rr-fallenflags.org. You might want to compare your model to photos of the MILW units listed above, to NKP Nos. 139-145 and to SP Nos. 2373-2394. The NKP and SP units had the last carbody style, and had sill-mounted handrails. --John
