Were there? I'mma be honest, it's been a looong time since I read 1.0.
"What Madness Is This?" Volume II: Prophecies in the Dark

Welcome to the Goochy Pinnacle Future! We’ve got bright lights, disco, cocaine, rising totalitarianism and looming nuclear annihilation!I'm not even gonna lie, I got a little misty eyed looking at this and listening to this song. I worked two hours on that picture using Ai assets and a lot of tomfoolery and jiggerypokery, and it's incredibly, wonderfully satisfying to see the things I have seen in my head for so many years "in real life." What a journey. From a school short story I never even submitted when I was like 15, to this at 26. Beautiful.
Groovy!
There have been TTL as well. For example, you may recall in the Gooch chapter the OTL Gooch governor’s son who died OTL not only survived, but was friends with George Washington and a major figure in the Revolutionary War and Carolinan independence, and founded the TTL House of Gooch.

I think I either missed that or got the timeline a little mixed up...
Like Burr went Nyarl-y and then the kid lived or something like that....
The Redux also has very small changes and PODs before the Federalists takeover, but Hamilton and company looked pretty much like they do IOTL. The pics used in the first chapter are paintings from OTL.
Illuminist Field Marshal's helmet as worn in the 1930s-50s. This one resides in the Museum of the Macabre in Salem, Massachusetts, where it horrifies hundreds visitors every day with its daemoniac visage.
Not going to lie, but this hits harder than Gooch mousewine. What about Europa and the NHRE?
"BEWARE THE LOOMIE ANTICHRISTS! BEWARE THE LURES OF A GODLESS EXISTENCE! Drive the Loomies out of our shores, and away from our homes and schoolhouses. Everywhere you turn, you might see a LOOMIE."
EDIT:
We also are getting our first look at the Khrushchev to Oswald's JFK: Equal Citizen Vadim Maximovich. He will be played in illustrations by a blend of Peter Cushing, Christopher Plummer, a vampire, and a dash of Tom Hiddleston. I'm a fan.

One last picture drop to conclude my insomnia addled descent into editing madness. I give you the handsome English immigrant, the incredibly charismatic soothsaying practitioner of Christian magicks, the ten-time Rhode Island nude meditation champion, the absolute s e x p o t that is the Blind Christian Gentleman, the noble "Father of a Generation," Mr. Tobias:
Hehehehehe he can't see but he's holding a book.
"I CAN READ WHAT WITH ME PINNACLE FLUIDATION AND ETHEREAL POWERS, YOU MANGY BLIGHTING SINNER!"
In all seriousness, he looks like Doc Brown had a baby with an Innsmouth Fishperson. And that's exactly what I was going for.

This is literally the man that, with a giant harem of always naked loyal fans, single-handedly fathered a whole army/generation of men that carry his name with pride and devotion. You may not like it, but this is what peak male performance looks like.One last picture drop to conclude my insomnia addled descent into editing madness.

Does anyone know all the minor PODs that happened in this timeline?
The one I remember was that Washington wasn't sterile. There was a list floating around somewhere.
If I recall, Washington not being sterile was from Classic, but I wouldn't rule out that Napo has kept that in Redux for later.
