Deliveries came over two years (1888-1889). A Spanish-language site -- [] -- gives a rather complete list of dimensions. [] (visited 3 August 2005) is another source.
Author Diego Martin Robles notes that many changes were made to these engines, in particular the addition of a Belpaire firebox and, in some cases, a pony truck forward, which turned the locomotive into a Mogul (2-6-0); see Locobase 13539. These were sturdy and reliable and consequently worked into the 1970s.
