Hope he lives forever, and the old plant gets taken care of for future generations. Thank you for sharing.

That's cool stuff. Living alone on and island for 23 years, that guy's a hermit. I wonder how many times a year they deliver cigarettes.

[@manta_40]

Yes absolutely, lots of fisherman bring him supplies and usually tobacco in 3kg packets. He also told us if somebody moves in with him, he will leave the island.

Looked lioke an old hit n miss engine at first

[@manta_40]

Yeah, it was crazy to see it running.

[@CajunKracka]

27 hp with YES torque.

Yeah, this is kinda special to steam engines. The horse power measurement does not really apply to these engines. They can produce incredible torque even though hp is not much.
