It’s a very wide engine for its size, owing to the Spanish broad gauge. Neat little critter, though sad to see an engine of such vintage out in the open, undercover would be the best thing for it.
Here’s hoping she gets fixed up again. All around my region (Moselle, France) you have the remnants of the old mine railways. Nearly each town asked for one after mines closed and at first the retired miners maintained the wee diesel electrics. But so many of them have passed in or become infirm. There’s one in the grounds at a nursing home in Carling and I have my eye on it to at least repaint.

Thank you for the information, I'm from Córdoba and I did not know the story behind that train 😅. Regards !!
Glad you liked the video :) I hope the little engine will be saved from the rust 😵💫

Thats interesting! This is the first one like this I saw in France, but I’ve seen loads of old steam locos on plinths in Poland and the Baltic States.
