    No I do not currently volunteer
    Are there any heritage railways out there that have a proper fuel point to fill tanks on diesel locomotives with diesel?.
    If not how do you fuel up your locomotive?

    At Llangollen, the diesel locos are filled directly from road tankers. The Railcars have their own dedicated fuel point which is a commercially made tank and pump unit.

    Locomotives can only be fuelled directly from the tanker if the correct adapter for the hose end is used.
