Looking for links to or copies of photos of the roof of F40PHs, specifically the non-dynamic brake hatch area as used by MBTA, and some others (I think GO Transit and NJ Transit ?)

Models without dynamic brakes are too scarce, so I will have to make my own, I guess.

Thanks.

The photos posted by Eliphaz are all of MBTA F40PH-2Cs, which are dynamic brake equipped. I think what JBConn is looking for are the straight F40PH, which on MBTA are not equipped with dynamic brakes. I couldn't find any good roof shots of them, but here are a couple of clear side views -- looks to me like the area where dynamic grids and fans would be if so equipped is covered with blank sheet metal.
