Economics I suppose required conversion, but to me, a steam engine ain't a proper steam engine unless it's coal fired! One steam loco can't be that damaging the environment.
Great video though by the way! :-D

I like how they do run them, but honestly, there are what, maybe 20 steamers running in North America? That isn't going to be that big of an environmental impact. Keep them running like they did 100 years ago. Coal.

wonder if it can only burn recycled veggie oil

@Weiberts i agree 100%!!!!!!

Hope GCR #29 comes back now on the new fuel. :D

He talks about offsetting the turn of the century technology, but the steam locomotive is turn of the century technology and it should be preserved for what it is. It's environmental impacts are miniscule compared to most everything else that is "polluting."

@Wvfunflyer Waste grains could be used also, as corn is used to fire the boilers in our local high school.

Will number 29 run off of WVO any time soon? Will they be selling off any of there engines?

It really is a cool concept that these tree hugging Enviro-nazis have actually stumbled on.

Just think if someone did a test on how burning vegetable oil and the emissions it makes and power to regular diesels. If it came out the same or close to the same. it might be a way to go back to steam powered trains. Yes it means more people but its a way not to run on diesel and get the same power and all that. Just think of making a modern day steam train that can beet any diesel, this can be a start of it maybe. just an idea.
