In that case, it's possibly in the National Conservation Centre on Whitechapel, part of the Liverpool Museums.

This is an old railway building (although I can't remember which company) and used to be open to the public. However, it's now closed to the public, but if you contacted the Liverpool Museums you may be able to arrange a private visit?

Wow what a beast of a loco, wonder what its performance stats were like for that era.

Apparently they had some of the largest cylinders of the period at 21”x 26”, which with relatively small driving wheels of 4’ 7” and a boiler pressure of 150 lb must have made them some of the most powerful locos in the country.
