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

Cheers

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!?
