Engine #1 is a 0-4-4-0 compound mallet. Built by Orenstein & Koppel in Germany 1902.
I know it's not Stevenson or Walscherts.
I would like to search this setup online.
Looking for the name.
Thanks for any help!

I did some quick research on german websites and it looks like the valve gear is a patent from Orenstein & Koppel. Other name could be "Koppel-Steuerung", which means translated something like "coupled gear control". But on most websites the valve gear of Orenstein&Koppel locomotives is just given with "O&K Patent Lokomotiv Steuerung", translated patent locomotive control by Orenstein&Koppel.

I looked around and I'm glad Google Translator is around.....
