The track consists of 3 1/2", 5" and 7 1/4" gauges. The majority of passenger hauling is done by 7 1/4" locos. However, smaller locos do often run successfully. The club own several locos including:

• 7 1/4" 'Sandwell Lady'. A Hunslet type loco built by the members of the society.
• 7 1/4" Black 5, built by a local engineer and donated to the society. The loco has seen many years service and as from January 2017 it will be out of service due to boiler overhaul.
• 7 1/4 " "Nigel ", a new addition the fleet and due to its small size it makes portable events much easier to attend.
• A petrol hydrological locomotive that is used as a back up loco or when site is not bus

The track runs round the gardens of the transport museum and has many railway typical features such as loco sheds, station, tunnels and viaducts. The steepest climb on the line stretches from the viaduct to the tunnel with a hefty 1 in 110 climb. The trip consists of two loops passing the station twice via a loop line.
