Many thanks for the ebay link, SP5103. That picture is exactly as my fuzzy memory recalls the loco though I could not have told you the color scheme. I just purchased the picture and look forward to sharing it with my fellow 700 hogger, Greg Kamholz, who was one of the two other VSP&S volunteers whom I remember being at Malarkey's estate the day I was there.
According to Wes Barris' steam locomotive website the steamer was built in Germany in 1926 by Berliner Maschinenbau-Actien-Gesellschaft as construction number 8778.
