The other day I was stuck behind a car at traffic light and noticed what Victorian number places are up to - SCT have missed out on getting cars with rego plates SCT 001 - SCT 011 for their company cars to go with the locos.

The new SCT loco depot at Laverton is underway, the foundations started about a month ago, the roof was put up some time in the past week. It is hidden along the back of the yard, with all of the sidings between it and the main line.
It isn't hard to see from the road outside SCT! Or have they put up some new walls to hide it?
The excavations appeared complete (if flooded) in very early January, with at least some earthwork for the new track in place leading back to the yard.

Going from the information in the caption, the people of Parkes must be shocked to know they are no longer part of NSW

Bing, it only says that they are being delivered to SCT in Victoria, meaning I assume that they will be taken over and checked out at Laverton (or perhaps Galvin , if you were feeling pedantic and had seen the short lived location sign at the junction point).
In fact, EDI use the "LV" order prefix for the SCT units making SCT, in some way, the successor to VR!
More of concern to me is the thought that the train will be split at Jindalee! I assume this means the double crossovers north of Cootamundra (where the bidirectional signalling ends) rather than the plain track at the site of the vanished station of that name. This would allow the train to proceed to Coota West and the new locomotives to proceed south.

So have all of the locos been delivered or are some still being delivered?currently theres 13 in service and delivered to SCT logistics and another 2 SCT's to go to come SCT014 & SCT015.
These two were delivered to Sydney on 4142 yesterday but the may be stalled somewhere due to the derailment or unless they passed earlier.

How are these girls tracking? Have the teething problems been sorted
Apparently they won a title, "king of the mountain" (maybe better put as 'king of the Cowan Bank") ...

My question: what were they compared against?

Three PN 92 class (United C44 aci).
This was reported in other RP threads.
For locomotives of the same nominal power, the LDPs did show up as more suitable in that application.
