The Phoenix Model Engineering Society operates a 5 in (127 mm) miniature railway on the Spring Village site.

[4] South of Doseley, half a mile (0.8 km) of trackbed and two missing level crossings separate TSR's current railhead from the A4169 and Lightmoor Junction.

Permission was given in June 2014 by Telford and Wrekin Council for trains to operate south to Doseley once all trackworks and building works have been completed.

[citation needed] Although from the road it appears the formation would have to be raised by a prohibitive amount to achieve the statutory headroom below the bridge over the A4169, surveying by THST confirmed that a modest increase in height will provide the necessary clearance without increasing the already steep gradient between Doseley station and Lightmoor Junction.

Network Rail have donated a fabricated steel bridge that will be suitable to span the road which arrived at Spring Village in October 2010.

TSR plans to use the uphill line as its route into the Ironbridge Gorge including extension over Coalbrookdale Viaduct and across the Albert Edward Bridge onto the power station site, at Buildwas, when it closes.

In August 2008 Telford Steam Railway concluded negotiations with Network Rail for the lease and occupation of Lightmoor Junction Signal Box.

[6] In 2016, the Telford Steam Railway started their now flagship event of the year, The Polar Express, which is run throughout December.

As of the beginning of 2019, the track between Horsehay and Dawley and the level crossing at Doseley was removed prior to relaying at passenger carrying standards.

5619 was originally purchased by the Telford Development Corporation from Barry scrapyard for static display at Horsehay goods shed.

THST restored the loco to operational condition and it ran at Horsehay and many other preserved lines until its boiler certificate expired in 1991.

In 1998 lottery funding was obtained to allow a full overhaul to begin; refurbishment of the frames and fitting of the wheels, cylinders, side tanks and bunker were completed at Horsehay.

Boilerwork and final reassembly of the locomotive took place at the Flour Mill workshop, Lydney after further funding was provided by Alan Moore CBE.

Returning to traffic after passing its final steam tests,[8] it moved to the Avon Valley Railway for two weeks' running-in in February 2008.

Now having in depth restoration/mechanical overhaul after a change in ownership, Hector has been outshopped in a Prussian blue livery with yellow lining.
