Did SP/Cotton Belt GP30s have bright yellow handrails? Perhaps when delivered?

agree, though weathering might scale that back a little bit.

I've always felt that the SSW style yellow handrails just don't model well. They just end up looking toylike and unfinished, seemingly no matter how well they're done.
