Manresa Guardiola (CGFC)) 0-6-0T No. 33Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 16, 2021 @ 09:12:41
Apparently the MTM build number is 35 (NOT 33) and the running number 33, instead of 31.

Manresa Guardiola (CGFC)) 0-6-0T No. 33Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 16, 2021 @ 09:12:44
This is a 0-6-0T (apparently not ‘well’) and was built for the Compania General de Ferrocarriles Catalanes s.a. as their No. 31, though other records have this as No. 33.

FEVE (Tortosa-La Cava) 4-4-0T No. 1 Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 16, 2021 @ 07:12:49
Another example of the original contributor misinterpreting the ‘code’ from an external site as the builder being Henschel rather than being from the Hunslet Engine Co. of Leeds, as it was pointed out back in 2010. It became No. 1 of the Tortosa-La Cava Railway which was operated by the Ferrocarriles Económicosm S.A., later passing to FEVE who later closed the line.

FC Valladolid Rioseco (CSR) 0-4-0T No. 6 'Rioseco' (1)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 16, 2021 @ 06:12:32
It is believed that this locomotive was built for the Valladolid to Medina de Rioseco Railway became part of the Castilian Secondary Railways as their No 2. It may be that the No. 6 ‘RICOSECO’ derives from it’s original owner, as it was not that from the CSR. However, the late Pat Ramsome-Wallis suggests that the build number is actually 3231, of which by looking at the plate on file, could be more correct though not too distinctive.

RENFE (Zara-Huelva Railway) Railcar No. 9091 (XF1001)Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 16, 2021 @ 06:12:21
This steam rail-car was built for the Zara-Huelva Railway as their No. XF 1001 and rebuilt by Sentinel CML in 1933. It may have come into RENFE ownership post 1941, though as to when it was given it’s current identity is uncertain.

Originally built for burning coal, the CFA number was 101, the first of a class of six locomotives. When coming under RENFE ownership in 1941 they were renumbered 462-0401 to 462-0496, the ‘F’ only being added when converted to oil burning. They ended their days heading passenger trains along the coast south from Tarrogona to Sevilla.

This is in fact, or so it appears, a 2-6-0ST (Saddle Tank) the only so gauged tank engine to operate on the broad gauge in Spain. It was built for the Triano Railway, a short mineral line extending west from Bilbao to San Julian de Musques, and became their No. 13. In RENFE ownership (since 1941) it is named ‘PUCHETA’.

This is another case of the initial contributor misinterpreting the ‘code’, in another site, for the constructor. This is NOT Schwartzkopff but Schneider (Le Creusot). The locomotive was one of five built for the Northern Railway (Norte) and all given names, this example later named TARRACO, was originally their No. 1602 ‘EL TERA’.
