For the Mornington route you'd only want say 4 pass cars and a loco, from memory thats all they have running at any given time

Damn straight. That and some E and W cars, as well as some V and L cars too. Oh and some N cars (just about every carriage class that VR/Vicrail/V/Line ever used, lol)

For starters, I use a camera, tape measure, pen, paper & a clipboard.
Apart from that, my biggest references are the photos in Peter Vincent's CD (info at http://www.netspace.net.au/~pjv101/) and a book of basic VR drawings published by the Victorian Model Railway Society in the early 1980's.

My MSTS stuff wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Peter Vincent's CD. You'll find I acknowledge his CD in all the readme files for my rolling stock. 
BTW, you can get it at "The Buffer Stop". It's in Plenty Rd in Preston.

[quote="michaelgreenhill"]
Is that Mornington station I spy in the distance? Since when has it had a run-around loop?
quote]
it is under consruction at the moment, we have just about 20-40 meters to go, and waiting on the up points, as well as the down point lever.
also, a normal train on the route would be a K class steam or a T class diesel, 2-5 passenger cars (depending on the time of year),then either a Z guards van, or a cv guards van. e.g. when i was rostered on 163 thursday during January, the consist was (up end) 45BE (that had a brake hose problem at the up end), 27AW, 27BU, 5CV.

It may have sold out, because from memory Peter wasnt planning on doing another lot after the initial Updated Rollingstock CD 
Ask around at the hobby stores and see if they have a copy, but I wouldnt bother going to a 2nd hand stall and asking, chances are that the CD will be corrupt.
