I've never seen modern C&S engines with hand grabs on them.

This caught my fancy as I was just looking at one picture taken at Morse Bros. I'm taking you to mean by "Modern", the last decade and also of the big power #74-76 only.

I offer these "modern" images, the last days of 75 and 76 have the handles on the classlights, I presume because they are only wire that makes them hard to see.   Strangely I found one of 75 without yet she regressed to handles at Morse.  Those ones taken at Morse Bros, still appear to be electrically wired in, not as if they would swap over classlights for older types at that time, why would they, given the bent visors I'd say swapped lights wouldn't be re-connected?

As for the 74 in later years, no handles, a dead cert!
