It is a member of The Trevithick Society.
It received a £10,000 [[:Category:Lottery funding | Lottery community fund grant]] and a £2,300 contribution from Bridgnorth Town Council.<ref>[https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/funding/grants/0030041930 National Lottery 28 November 2006] (Retrieved 13 April 2021)</ref><ref>[https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/attractions/2021/04/13/full-steam-ahead-as-severn-valley-railway-celebrates-locomotive-pioneer/ Andrews, M., 'Full steam ahead as Severn Valley Railway celebrates locomotive pioneer', Shropshire Star, 13 April 2021] (Retrieved 13 April 2021)</ref>
Its income totalled £998 £3,570 for the year five years ending 31 March 20182023. <ref name="CC" /> The primary source of income is a sales stand at railway events. Goods include Trevithick biographies and a framed print of a painting by a local railway artist depicting the original locomotive under test in 1808. In 2018 it was moved from [[Bridgnorth]] to [[Kidderminster]] with consequent greater foot-fall and sales. Trustees are present at several railway events during any year to display and explain the replica and its historic context to the public, as well as providing ad hoc expositions to interested passers-by when work is being carried out on the engine. The disadvantage of moving the sales stand has been the educational element of interaction with the public suffers.<ref>2018 Accounts</ref>
