I can offer you the status of BDLX #2209. I am the owner of this unit. I purchased it back in august 2003. I was originally going to purchase #2207 until i found out it had freeze damage so i had the combos changed out and reinstalled on #2209 since these wheels were almost new. It was in storage in Binghamton yard and i was waiting for to ship it to NJ for an upstart operation that never came to fruition. It sat in Binghamton until it was placed into service on the NYSW from september to december of this past year. It had some issues that had to be repaired on it and now it is on lease to the CNY RR as their "sole" power. It will remain in P&W colors.
I am a locomotive leaser who is based in Woodbridge/ Edison NJ. I also own (former LTS #1845 , eex US Steel #27), H12-44 Fairbanks Morse #1845 ( has remote control and EMD trucks ) as well as a spare engine and a truck load of spare parts. Unit is presently out of service. I also own 7 Trackmobiles.
As far as BDLX #2214. It had / has some bugs to be worked out.
BDLX #2208 has just come in from P&W. I am not sure if it is getting pressed into service or just evaluated at this point.
