This engine has a sign of China Railway,but the only two Chinese streamline steam engines I know are type SL-7 and SL-8,and the are both 4-6-2 wheel arrangement。

It looks like a TOY Mallard. the Mallard is a 4-6-0.

I don't think the Chinese ever built this Streamliner. they... however. DID have steamlined experiences before. In the Japanese-held Manchuguo there was one, also a Pacific-type like the Mallard but MUCH slower.

AFAIK only one or two in this class of Prewar german tank streamliners ever exists! Railroads usually use Steamliners to haul hi-end market passenger train rather than regular ones.
The concepts of 'regular' Highspeed train began in Japan. POSTWAR japan ... in 1964 to be exact.
