Nice to see an update on these, even if it's another one of the many project-is-stalled kind of updates that seem to be all too common among private collections. Any idea if any of the B-units pictured in old RP photos (#68989 and #105584) are still there?

Even in this condition, that's one of the best-looking cabs in dieseldom. I've often wondered if the guy[s] who designed these models got paid by ALCO or by GE? A number of GE electric locos sported a similar cab design.

The two B-units in those linked photos are still part of this stored collection. They were positioned just behind where I was standing. The BCOL "Remote Control Car" and VIA FPB-4 are still in the same, worn paint shown there.

These units are in much better condition than the LIRR604 which I saw at the Illinois Railway Museum a few months ago.
