NOTES the port of Huelva operated a number of these O&K tank engines on the broad gauge lines in the dock area. Identification of these was always a problem, but there is now general agreement that this is 3015. Although most of the motion (where the works number is usually stamped) is missing, both crossheads carry the number 2352, but 3015 is reported as being stamped on the frame. The museum at Valverde del Camino is located in the old headquarters of the Buitron Railway, an English company which operated a 1067mm (3'6") line from mines at Buitron to San Juan del Puerto.
