Note: I am not connected with this in any way. I don't think giant steam engines come on market very often, so I'm passing it on. Go for it!

Thanks for the info. I hope someone preserves the steam engine. Sounds like it's not in situ, but has seen at least one remove to the estate's collection.

Love the content. Must have been an interesting person.
