Default Dash 8 upgrades

I remember seeing pics of some GE Dash 8's with mods done to their radiator section for tier 0??? upgrades but can't remember where I saw the pics or whether they were standard or wide nose units. Can anyone point me to the pics?

CN's been doing split-cooling radiator mods on several older GE units. Including full-cowl body C40-8CMs, and the ex-UP/CNW and BNSF dash 8s.

I don't have a photo handy, but start looking through some of those new units and you should find one or two.

Thank you Chris.

After a lot of looking I did find three examples.

Looks like a pretty clean installation. It would be nice if one of the detail companies would make the new rads to retrofit the Atlas Dash 8's.
