There are some on display and occasionally run here, but they are kept indoors most of the time. I am not sure about visitors from other railways and museums.

It must be said that this sort of thing is, sadly, no longer possible; the access point was severed a few weeks ago, in preparation for the 'Ordsall Chord' project due to proceed...
