Because the train is produced over about six months, its production cost is estimated at 96.3 kJ per day, about 10% of basal metabolic rate and 3% of field metabolic rate.
“The train is produced over ~6 months (M.Caunce, personal communication), such that the train production costs are estimated to be 96.3 kJ day -1 , representing ~10% of basal metabolic rate [947 kJ day -1 (Lasiewski and Dawson, 1967)] and 3% of field metabolic rate [2805 kJ day -1 , estimated from a scaling equation for Galliformes (Nagy et al., 1999)].”

The cost of feather production is estimated at 54.9 kJ per gram of dry feathers.
“The cost of feather production, C f , is estimated to be 54.9 kJ g -1 dry feathers [following Lindstrom et al. (Lindstrom et al., 1993) and using an estimate of basal metabolic rate from Lasiewski and Dawson (Lasiewski and Dawson, 1967)].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
