The VMRS's current project is the construction of a club layout based on Korumburra (VR). Korumburra is a small town in South Gippsland and the railway served a dairy farming and coal mining area.
The track layout at the station was big enough and interesting enough to base a model on and small enough to reproduce almost completely with minimum compression and omission. There was a locomotive depot with a four (later two) stall shed. The wooden coal stage was replaced by a steel, overhead loading tower.
In March 2008, the layout was shown at the Hobsons Bay MRC exhibition in Collingwood. Some pictures can be seen here.
