I sincerely hope not, but coal could be imported from other countries though even that may put the costs up.
I think that steam railways are now even more popular than when they were running back in the fifties and sixties. Wonder whether they could be converted to run on logs of wood!!
Nigel, if they burn logs, there'll be nothing to turn into coal over the next 85 million years, then they won't be able to run steam trains at all.
We have to think of the future.

Well either electrify or hybrid them!!

I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
Remember being told ten years ago or so the main threat to warbirds wasn't a shortage of engine parts it would be the lack of the right fuels and lubricants because it wouldn't be cost effective for it to be produced.
The same problem will befall historic aircraft as fossil fuels give way to electricity.
How much longer will leaded (do Merlins still use leaded?) 100 octane be available?
