Although no longer used commercially, traction engines of all types continue to be maintained and preserved by enthusiastic individuals and are frequently exhibited at agricultural shows in Europe (particularly the UK), Canada and the United States. They are often a main attraction in a [[live steam]] festival ''(see [[List of steam fairs]])''.

Model traction engines, powered by steam, are manufactured by several companies, notably [[Mamod]] and [[Wilesco]]. Larger scale model engines are popular subjects for model engineers to construct, either as a supplied kit of parts, or machined from raw materials. A small number of full size traction engines have been built including a [[Case Corporation|Case]] 150.<ref name=Fabienne>{{cite news |last=Lang |first=Fabienne |date=15 October 2021 |title=World's Largest Steam Traction Engine Comes Back to Life, With 150 HP |url=https://interestingengineering.com/diy/worlds-largest-steam-traction-engine-comes-back-to-life-with-150-hp |work=Interesting Engineering |location= |access-date=10 February 2023}} </ref>
