Although I've been working on 2 of these for the last few months, here is 1 that has a coupling on one end.

Thanks to Paul Bartlett's excellent website, the model has been back-dated to the early/mid 80s style. I contacted Bachmann asking if they were going to release this particular model without nameboards, to which they replied - we only get the models as we receive them! Obviously I'm barking up the wrong tree here.Thinking about it, maybe they should release them with the boards loose in the box, thereby allowing the modeller to fit them as they see fit???

As far as I know they all started with complete boards on both sides. Certainly by 1985 some vehicles had lost some boards and in some cases, parts of one or more boards: it was entirely random. If they were separate, I would model a vehicle with the weathering applied to the body and a patch of freshly exposed silver where the board, in whole or in part, would have been.
