With all Heritage Railways it all depends on who buys their diesel occasionally they can get a sponsor to fill up but when you consider a class 37 can hold between 4000 and 7000 litres it isn't going to be cheap
Consumption is expected to be around 4 litres per mile
likewise steam coal is a specialised fuel and suppliers are not many the NYMR claim to use 2500 tons in 2013 for their services and todays price is £328 a tonne
