The archives and library are open to the public during office hours. The Transport Museum houses an extensive transport collection, and endeavours to tell the story of transport in Ireland, from its early history to the modern era. It is the largest railway collection in Ireland. The Irish Railway Collection tells the story of over 150 years of railway history. Steam locomotives, passenger carriages and goods wagons are combined with extensive railway memorabilia, interactive displays and visitor facilities. One of the collection's main attractions is Great Southern Railways Class 800 locomotive No. 800 "Maeḋḃ", one of the three largest and most powerful steam locomotives ever to be built and run in Ireland. The new Road Transport Galleries boast a large collection of vehicles ranging from cycles and motorcycles to trams, buses, and cars. One of its most famous attractions is a DMC DeLorean car, the model made famous by Back to the Future, and manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company in Belfast. The museum boasts a permanent "Titanic" exhibition, documenting the construction, voyage, and eventual sinking of the ill-fated vessel. The ship has long been associated with Northern Ireland, as it was constructed in the Harland and Wolff shipyards, just a few miles from the museum. The newly refurbished "Titanic" exhibition, tying in with the Folk museum's 'Titanic Trail' is titled "TITANICa". Another exhibition at the Transport Museum is "X2: Flight Experience", developed in partnership with Bombardier Aerospace, owners of the Belfast-based aerospace company Short Brothers. Also on display at the museum is the Shorts manufactured Short SC.1, an experimental vertical take-off aeroplane, only two of which were ever produced. The example in the museum, XG905, crashed in 1963, ending up upside down and killing its pilot. It was, however, repaired and flown again before eventually being preserved by the museum. Attractions in the grounds themselves include a model railway operated by the Model Engineers Society of Northern Ireland. The model engineers give train rides to thousands of children and adults every year free of charge. A small donation helps the Society to pay for fuel for the trains. This facility is a great asset to the transport museum and enjoyed by many thousands of visitors every year who keep returning to the museum and avail of this model railway experience. There is the 120 ton steel schooner "Result". Recent additions to the collection include a full set of Stanley Woods racing memorabilia, and two of his bikes.
