The article says "Extensive engine collection", without being nosey what other engines does he own.

No more steam as far as I know. (yet!)

He has an extensive car collection and I believe at least one aircraft, a spitfire I think.

The works is only about ten minutes from where I live. I don't know if the engines live there or near where Mr Oliver lives.

Think he might have contracted the steam bug!?

This quite often happens when people have loads of spare cash!
