Operating 2' gauge steam train rides on the first full weekend of every month from the original Sheffield (about 30km south of Devonport, Tasmania) railway station.

The Society was formed in 1993 to preserve the skills and machinery of the steam era by forming a tourist attraction in Sheffield. In November 1993 society members began to relocate and restore the Sheffield Railway Station.

"We constructed a 15 x 9m locomotive shed, 500m of two foot gauge track and renovated the station in time for the first SteamFest in March 1994. In March 1996 the Society obtained Planning Approval for Stage 1 of our proposed 4km railway track

"Since 1996 we have constructed over 1km of track and have completed the run around loop at the end of Stage 1. In 2004 we completed 8 x 15m extensions on both sides of our locomotive shed to create a workshop and museum. 2008 saw the completion of the caretakers cottage."
