The Loch Community Development Association has been invited to attend a meeting with South Gippsland Shire Council to discuss their next steps with a proposed rail trail through our communities, following their recent confirmation of an 18 year lease on the rail corridor. We are mindful there are people in the community that are supportive of a tourist rail option, as proposed by Southern Rail Group. We would welcome your views on priorities for these two initiatives.

We’ve always wished that a streamlined S Class ‘Pacific’ steam locomotive could have been preserved and placed in our museum; sadly all were scrapped some eight years before our Museum first opened. Today however, our wish has come true! (Sort of.)

Museum volunteer Lee, who in recent months has been busy restoring our Overland sleeping carriage ‘Torrens’, has just assembled this beautiful HO scale model, showing he’s just as good at 1:87 scale models as he is with the 1:1 scale originals! This beautiful model is on temporary display in our station building, along with A2 and R class locomotive models. A 1980s era V/Line freight train is also on display.
