 It looks like the new footboards are mounted significantly higher than they would have been in service in the 1950s.  Headlight looks OK.

        Unfortunately, they removed the top of smokebox headlight and put it in the center, removing its number plate.  They also took away its boiler tube pilot for a step pilot.  Its not the classic 475 anymore.

 Great marketing.  Now all the folks who have been there and shot photos of the old look have a great reason to return and shot photos of the new look.    I am pleased as long as they did not scrap the old parts!!  ;-)
 
 Take care
