Georg, Please keep us posted with any additional photos and/or videos you get of this engineering marvel. I would love to see it in operation.

Now this would be one neat steam locomotive to see in operation! The engineer(s) who designed it must have been proud of their accomplishment, but I'll bet the maintenance men dreaded seeing this complex mechanical machine enter the shop for repairs. Thanks for sharing this unique photo.

Looks very similar to the SLM rack locomotives supplied to the Nilgiri Mountain Railway in southern India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilgiri_Mountain_Railway_X_class
