The museum site is based on a typical 1950s or early 1960s quarry system when both steam and diesel power was evident in the industry.

Exchange sidings were once located at the museum serving three separate private quarry railway systems associated with the past extraction of iron ore.

This locomotive was exported to Singapore Royal Navy Dockyard and was captured in February 1942 by the Japanese during World War II.

The locomotive features superficial bullet and shrapnel damage sustained during air raids on the dockyard from Japanese aircraft.

The museum operates passenger rides on a 0.75 miles (1.21 km) length of track and occupies an area of nearly 9 acres (28,000 m2).
