They rebuilded 12 of them , then they stopped . So is CP rebuilding any more AC4400CW to AC4400CWM's ?

Where are you getting your info from?!? They've rebuilt about 50 to date, with the numbers still increasing as the project continues (it's NOT stopped!).

I don't know this specifics but it seems overall rebuilding is just ramping up.

Bob

Rebuilding is cheaper then buying a new unit.

Altogether, 45 of the second series of AC4400CWs (9583-9683, designated CP2) have been/are being rebuilt, and numbered 8100-8144.

Next will be 35 of the first series (9500-9582, designated CP1). These will be numbered 8000-8034.

Plus another 30 recently announced bringing the total through this year to 110. The bulk if not all of these 30 will be from CP1's.

Hi So what are they doing with the other CP1s?
Are they going to get a overhaul at some time too??
That only leaves around 18 I think.
Are the motors getting up graded to say teir2-3 at all??
or just rebuilding them.
many thanks in advance. Cheers Brian in New Zealand..

Do you have a press release or statement about these additional 30?
