There is FreeAXP emulator. Google it.

I installed OpenVMS on it and brought system up and running. It is slightly faster than Alpha hardware. 

You can google for finding documents about chipsets and device chips to complete Alpha implementation under Simh.  Also there is working open-source ES40 emulator. Google  it.

We have experimented with some of the commercial emulators, but based on very positive experience with the VAX emulation under simh are wondering if the AXP EV5 emulation that is hinted at on the simh web site is available and functional?
