    Correct. Note that the 3rd axle wheel sets also have thinner flanges than the others.

    I think this will answer your question. The inside cylinder drives a crank axle on No. 2 position, while the mini-crankaxle can be seen on the 3rd coupled axle but off-set to the left. This drives the expansion link of the inner valve gear....

    Don't forget that the 3rd coupled axle is also a cranked one (taking the place of an eccentric) to drive the inside Walschaerts/Heusinger valve gear on a 44.
