Historias del vapor (VI): Las "pequeñas" del Triano (020-0221/0224) , on the Trenes y Tiempo blog at [], last accessed 31 December 2017. The four locomotives were delivered in two years --1876, and 1878. Works numbers were 2735-2736 and 2787-2788.
These were small saddle tanks (nicknamed las pequenas, or "small") with a slender stack and small dome. The outside cylinders were boxed in an auxiliary frame and the end of the crosshead was held firmly in a frame as well. Their names were Galindo, San Nicholas, Bilbao, Vizcaya.
The class experienced various fates:
Galindo (020-0221) went through several industrial owners, retaining its saddle tank until the 1960s, when the engine was photographed by LG Marshall stripped of its tank and boasting a chimney (stack) of "incredible" height.
San Nicholas (020-0222) had the shortest career, being discarded in 1946.
Bilbao (020-0223) was sold in 1958 to a fábrica (factory) de Mieres, retaining its name and saddle tank, but taking road #17.
Vizcaya (then RENFE 020-0224) was sold in 1946 to Fábrica de Moreda in Gijón
