Arenillas notes that the Stephenson valve gear on these "Spanish Great Central" engines was an unusual provision for Belgian-built locomotives. Most had the home-grown, but widely used, radial gear originally developed by Belgian Egide Walschaert. They also used the Belpaire firebox.

These eight-coupleds were purchased by Torralba-Soria before that line was absorbed by the Sur. Although quite a bit smaller, this trio came from the same builder as the TS's 80-81, which were procured in the same year but fitted with Stephenson valve gear.
According to the ASAFAL website, "Estos eran los nombres originales de Sur de Espaa:
101- Barcelona
102- Almanzora
103- Or+n
These Belpaire-firebox engines were delivered in two batches, the first three in 1897.
Later the Andaluces operated them as 231-233. In 1941, RENFE incorporated them as 040-2261 / 040-2263.
