Following up on this comment, I have a list of Seymour locos as
follows

Diseasel
GM36, B74 (on SG), S303, S317, T320, T357, T378, X35, Y133, F202

(That's enough to start your own "hook and pull" operation - almost as
much HP as Paul Moore).

Steam
K176, J512, J515

Railcars
DRC43, RM58

and in excess of 40 passenger cars.

I suppose they're lucky as Seymour in that it's generally a drier
environment that say Newport or Williamstown for the storage of locos
and cars.

I'd imagine various groups/operators will probably grab the remaining
Ys and four Ss rather than letting them go to scrap.

And Rod....

your money's still on Australian Transport Network (Wisconsin Central)
rather than Freight Victoria (RailAmerica)  or Australia Southern
Railroad (Genesee & Wyoming)?

Any reason?

Regards

Yuri
