having two coal fires in the house i use real coal smashed up in a bag to coal my railway locos- now we have to use re-constituted coal so i saved a few lumps of "real" coal for future projects.- build is looking better and better Keith.

 I just asked Mr Google how many homes in Britain are still heated with coal and the answer was 30,000. I then asked how many narrowboats and wide beam boats there are in Britain and the answer was 35,000. I watch several YouTube videos on canal boating and several use coal to heat their boats. I would think coal usage is declining but you and the canal boats seem to be hanging on.
