[2] Mr David Charles Potter opened the site's first narrow gauge line in the former goods yard in 1967.
[3] This was constructed for his Hunslet 0-4-0ST "Cackler", and the disused tracks of this line can still be seen from passing trains on the Mid-Norfolk Railway.
In 1969 the loco was moved across the standard gauge line to the Yaxham Park Light Railway (YPLR), which ran for over 0.5 miles (0.8 km) in meadows beyond the station, eventually being replaced by today's Yaxham Light Railway.
[5] It operates a collection of industrial railway equipment acquired over the years from quarries and other locations throughout the country.
Passenger trains are usually hauled by a variety of vintage diesel locomotives.
