Until mid 2014, based at Perrygrove were the Heywood Collection and associated replica vehicles built by James Waterfield, including the locomotive "Ursula" and the Duffield Bank Dining Carriage.
The venue has picnic and play facilities outdoors and under cover, and an indoor village with secret passages, in addition to train rides.
There are two sections of 1-in-29 gradient, and two of 1 in 50, and very sharp curves in places, making it an interesting journey for visitors, and challenging for loco crews.
A siding was laid at Rookwood, off the passing loop, to allow access to a newly seeded area suitable for marquee-type events, including wedding receptions.
The railway regularly hold wedding receptions either in a marquee at Rookwood, or the carriage shed at Perrygrove.
