Check out Rail Canada Volume 5. Pages 31 and 33 show pictures of 9101 and
9100 respectively. These are phase 1. They match the LL units almost
perfectly. Both pictures show a wire cage over the front end windows added
due to the Doukhabor / Sons of Freedom troubles during the 50's and early
60's for crew protection on units that were assigned to operate in the
southern B.C. Kootenay region (According to Rail Canada)

CP TRACKS Volume 4 number 3 through Volume 5 number 2 (5 issues) had an excellent series on CPR RDC's.
Volume 4 number 3 was about RDC-2's and has photos of both Phase 1 and Phase 2 RDC-2's.
9100 and 9101 were both Phase 1's. Going through various photos shows that CPR RDC's were delivered as both Phase 1 and Phase 2 in all variations.(RDC-1,-2,-3) (I have only seen a photo of a Phase 2 RDC-4 # 9251)
As far as I know all CPR RDC's had the door mounted headlight. It was mounted on a bracket and moved from one end to the other for the direction of travel.
To model an accurate P1K CPR RDC you only have to add the door headlight,change the horns on the roof, and add a numberboard above the double headlight.
I added some photos of RDC's to the "files" section.

I also note that the P1K model represents a Phase-I RDC. Is this
correct for the numbers represented (9100 and 9101)? All photos I
have seen of CPR RDCs were of the Phase-II version. Did 9100 and 9101
have the door-mounted headlight?
I know there have been several books published which cover RDCs in
Canada, but most of these are now hard to find, correct? Didn't CP
Tracks do an article on RDCs as well?
