You're correct. I was mixing up standards. I have edited my post now.

As part of the changes needed to make the prime movers Tier 3 compliant, that contraption - which is basically a muffler - was added. There were other changes made inside the units as well. All of the older units are getting the upgrades as they go in for their rebuilds.
The 10 units built to the Tier 3 standard were equipped with all of those changes from the factory.

Oh is that why those mp40’s lost their unique prime mover noise when at notch 8?

They used to be very loud at notch 8. I notice some mp40’s are still like that, some haven’t got the upgrades yet I don’t think. Oh man go transit’s fleet is really changing.

Something interesting to note. Today I noticed a very interesting consist
It was MP40PH 632 leading F59PH 558, with Classic Cab Car 252 at the rear
I have noticed the F59s are being placed on non London Trains now, I wonder why?

I saw a couple of weeks ago an mp40ph and a classic cab car 252 all in the old livery expect one car in the train was the new livery.

Is there ever going to be a non mixed livery train?

Soon. Metrolinx has a fleet painting tender out in market right now. I’d assume it would cover everything in the old livery. Would be interesting to see F59s in the new scheme.

It would be nice to have separate liveries for each train I personally like the older livery.

Yup, I much prefer the old wintergreen scheme to the new limes-and-frogs. Sure it looked rough weathered, but the coaches could have just been repainted without changing the overall scheme.

Honestly I feel like when GO gets EMUs they won’t be double decker.
