Unfortunately it is diesel-hauled due to fire risk. This train carries mostly journalists and guests as a promo exercise.

An oil fired loco is required there. In fact each preservation group should have an oil fired loco or a heritage diesel for such incidents.
And no its not that expensive if the conversion is carried out correctly and the correct fuel type is used.
That said its good to see the train running.
