The North Yorkshire Moors Railway has recently announced that their War Department 2-8-0 will be undergoing a conversion from coal to oil burning in partnership with FMW Solutions

This has the usual British armchair reaction, but it is key to point out that locomotives in the UK have undergone oil conversions before and/or have burned oil

A Gauge The Issue (by Chris Eden Green) on this subject would be a fascinating thing to clear up all the issues that are present

I do send my best wishes for the NYMR & FMW on the success of the project
