At 11:00 it's Polish locomotiv Pm36-2 called "Piękna Helena" which mean beautiful Helen (I don't know why Helen, but beauty it is 😍). It's the fastest steam locomotiv in Poland.
Absolutely right! These locs were originally the S160 series, belonging to the US Army Transportation Corps during WW2. Many of them remained in Europe after the war, quite a few in Hungary, too, where they got the 411 series numbering and were nicknamed "Truman Locs".

Is this Hungary? And at least 12 years ago. Beautiful Helena has been stuck in the shed in Wolsztyn for that long.
Pm38-2 cost a lot of money to repair that's why she stayed there

No, more like russian P-36

16:08 that looks like mallard
It's actually a German-origin engine, 01 series, belonged (at that time) to the KuK Austro-German railway.
