    Would that be the I MechE paper by Roger Waller; Modern Steam: An environmental and economical alternative to Diesel Traction?

    The figures were interesting, they also used electric powered external boilers, which ran on low tariff energy, to preheat the water overnight.
    I went on a technical visit there, most interesting and Roger was very enthusiastic about the possibilities.
    Alas photos and the copy of the paper have disappeared during house moves and downsising.

    Some interesting details here
