This loco was purchased in 1982 (to SLM) by the CFMR ("Aix-les-Bains to Mont Revard" Rack-and-pinion Railway)in the French Savoie. Later on it was sold to the Gornergrat Railway (Switzerland) in 1987 to contribute to the construction of the line. After de inauguration it was kept as a "reserve status" loco until 1920 when it was sold to FMGP (Ferrocarriles de MontaƱa a Grandes Pendientes),to operate in the old "Monistrol-Montserrat Rack-and-pinion Railway" Catalonia, Spain). Its "Wheels code" should be "0-4-2T Cog (or Rack)". Although for a short period of time its bigger diameter wheels were converted to "Drivers" by means of a clutch mechanism (to colaborate on the construction of the Nuria Valley Adherence/Rack Railway, also in Catalonia Spain), most of this loco lifetime both, Traction and Braking were managed through the loco pinions (2) exclusively. Additional data: Weight: 15.112 kg. Wheels diameter: 653/520 mm. Cylinders: 300x500 mm. Boiler Preissure: 14 at. Tractive effort: 7.700 kg.
