When I try and contact the site, it times out / can't connect, though I
did manage to get an index listing by leaving off the pdp11.html.

Not quite sure what you mean by trying to run it "locally".   Is it that
you downloaded pdp11.zip and unzipped it and pointed at that as a file
URL?  Or did you copy it to a local web server you have?

There are at least three files involved, I spect:  pdp11.html, pdp11.js
and bootcode.js, and probably vt11,js, pdp-11-45.svg and pdp11-70.svg as
well.
