The Engine Shed at Banks Circus comprises two rubble-stone locomotive buildings dating from the 1890s, still in working use as the Isle of Man Railway's main workshop. Between them, the shed and its single-road workshop can house up to seventeen steam locomotives at once, and the building retains overhead lifting gear, beam engines and wheel lathes from its working life, with a blacksmith's shop added as recently as 2001. It remains a genuine working railway shed rather than a museum piece, central to keeping the island's steam fleet running.
