If you mean larger tank Loco's like the br 81, 89, 85, 61, or 66, they have small coal tenders behind the driver cabs.

(other turf-fired tank locomotives were also built in Ireland) and you also have the SBB E 3/3 electric-steam locomotive

Those are very nice locomotives, have one of the peat versions myself. On a German museum tank locomotive, they have experimented with pellets.
