Well, lessee. The L-shaped windshield started with the 8845. 8800 thru 8844 had "normal" windshields. As far as the trucks go, 8800 thru 8844 came with underslung brake cylinders, which provoved to be problematic. A number of units had their brake cylinders moved to the traditional location above the outboard axles, with the piping and rigging changed accordingly. Here's an R. L. Dengler photo from the espee.railfan.net web site that shows the differences:
