 In addition, rather small quantities of //solid fuels// are used for historical steam engines vehicles operated mostly for tourism and exhibition purposes. Official fuel delivery data are available for lignite, through 2002, and for hard coal, through 2000 only. Therefore, in order to complete these time series, operator surveys were carried out in 2012 [(HEDEL2012)], 2016 [(ILLICHMANN2016)] and 2021 [(HASENBALG2021)]. During these surveys, questionnaires were provided to any known operator of historical steam engines in Germany. Here, due to limited data archiving, nearly complete data could only be gained for years as of 2005 and for the main operators only. For earlier years and a variety of smaller operators, conservative gap filling was applied.  In addition, rather small quantities of //solid fuels// are used for historical steam engines vehicles operated mostly for tourism and exhibition purposes.
