A classic example of a rare type of loco for Japan - a true compound Mallet. Beautifully presented and carefully sectioned to reveal the inner structure of a locomotive. Notice how the video shows the colour coding of the hot gasses, water and steam and reveals the piston valves of the leading engine.

Those fluted side rods are such a typical German touch, picked out in red on this Henschel built loco.
