That's already been mentioned, and argued about. However, there is the
Crich tramway Museum which is electrified...

... with overhead wires, not third rail And it isn't a preserved
line, it's in a former quarry. There are lots of museums with overhead
wires -tramway and trolleybus.


Well, of course. ;-)

Anyway, you say "lots" of others. I can think of Beamish, but then I run
out of ideas. What do you have in mind?

Amberley


Amberley is an excellent museum, with much live operating action but I
can't think of any electric traction there (wires or third rail). IMO
it's one of the best family days out in southern England.

They have a wonderful and unique vehicle called a Tramocar which is a
solid-tyred vehicle steered by a tiller but it doesn't run on rails!
