I have the same photos as others have of the backhead of D10 894 in
Kitchener.
It's too bad Rapido isn't doing a model of the U3e class switchers. I have
some so-so photos of the backhead of 6275 from Goderich.
I'm thinking there's enough difference to not be of much help.

Hi Jeff,
What about the D10G in the Museum of Science and Technology? The website
shows that it’s missing a couple of parts, but not from the back head.
The Museum is scheduled to reopen to the Public on the 14th (members
preview on the 12th and 13th). The cab of the D10 isn’t ordinarily
accessible, so some arrangement would need to be made to photograph it.
However, the Museum staff are likely either at work or about to be at work,
so perhaps they could take the photos if they’re needed quickly.
I know Rapido has contacts at the Museum, so maybe the engine isn’t as
intact as it appears. However, if they’ve assumed the Museum is shut down
and can’t help, that no longer appears to be case.

Hi Everyone,
I reviewed the latest Rapido D10 drawings late last week and it looks
awesome.
However, there is one area that’s wanting more attention and that’s the
interior cab and backhead.
If you have photos of the D10 cab and backhead, or know if there is a
photo in a book, has access to a D10, or have the backhead drawing please
let me know ASAP.
I’ll collect everyone’s responses, document and forward to Bill and get it
included otherwise we’re going to just have to live with an incomplete
interpretation.
Cheers.
