Hello
Please help identify the steam engine of the steam tug. Presumably built in 1906. Kiel or Brandenburg. 2 letters G and H are visible on the oilers of the main bearing under the covers.

Hello,
it could be a ARDELT Twin.
A few more photos would be very welcome.

Yes, more photos might help.
The engine's valve actuating mechanism looks quite different from those I've seen on large marine steam engines.
I cannot figure out the actions involved.

I believe that is Marshall valve gear, as discussed in the Fall 2022 issue of the Funnel.
