Atlas O definitely got the handrails right

it appears Atlas modeled the cast steel stanchions, while Lionel modeled the pressed steel ones. EMD changed the stanchion style during manufacture.

True but, the vertical handrail stanchions (solid bar stock on GP7) were changed to the "U channel" pressed steel (GP9 type), very late in the GP7 production. Thus, careful research of new builder photos of GP7 units would be in order to model the correct "U channel" vertical handrail stanchions.
