LM doesn't have much to say about this little tank, which preceded the Consolidation that prompted publication of the catalogue in which both appeared. It had a high-pitched boiler behind long tanks, tightly grouped set of driving axles, the trailing axle set behind the firebox, cylindrical dome over the middle driven axle, smaller sandbox forward just behind the capped stack.
On the other hand, the Ferropedia entry shows that the pair of engines were delivered two years before the FC Cantabrico, which opened its Santander-Cabezon de la Sal section in January 1895, began service on the 55-km Cabezon de la Sal-Llanes extension.
