Can anyone give me anymore info other than what's on their website?

"Eastriggs MOD Experience – Historic Tour & Shunter Driving"

Back at the loco shed, the real hands on experience begins! Watch as your guide brings the powerful shunter locomotive to life – then takes the controls yourself! Feel the thrill of driving the loco as we travel the 0.8 miles to the main rail gate and back, experiencing first hand what it was like to be at the heart of railway operations.

They are running a shunter experience weekend, but I'd like to know a bit more about the set up, how big the track is, wagons they use etc.
Ideally anyone who works there or done it would be ideal.

Do note the cost. A post elsewhere suggests that it is quite good, but questions if it is worth that much.

Yes; I read the web page and it does look quite good .... but the cost is rather large!

Although the web site doesn't mention how long,time /distance, the driving is, the cost is not too far off what some railways charge for a diesel driving experience.
