Just spoken to my neighbour who is a member of the BSMEE and he said they get what is bagged as Welsh steam coal, he thought from a guy in Gloucester. He said the truck delivers about a ton once a year. He seemed to think there is a pit still mining the stuff. He also mentioned that it's advertised in Model Engineering and found the advert for one supplier is Signal Fuels snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.co.uk .
I have just bought 25 bags of coal delivered to my miniature railway. The bags are all 25kg and I have a mixture beans, small nuts and large nuts.
The cost was £227.50 delivered.
Cheers

Peter,
Did you get your frames separated in the end. We never get a time arrange to use the OA rig.
I wonder if it's just steam coal - not dry Welsh.
Here's a link that explains a difference:

Julian,
Where are you and what size coal are you looking for?
I have 4 spare bags of beans £10 each, collect from the Trowbridge/Chippenham area.
Cheers
Peter
I'm in Warrington, but I'd like 2 or 3 tons of cobbles if possible!
Julian.
