This machine has a complex and interesting history. It was built in 1891 by the Scottish firm Dübs for Parcocha Iron Ore, a British company that intended to build a broad gauge mining railway on the left bank of the Nervión river. Shortly afterwards, when this locomotive had already arrived in Spain along with three other sisters, the business went bankrupt.
