PLACE AND DATE Aljustrel, 28th March 2001
NOTES the mines at Aljustrel had an extensive system operating on the unusual gauge of 920mm. Of three locos reported as surviving in "Industrial Locomoives of Spain and Portugal", only two, this and O&K 13021 have been seen in recent years. The third, No. 8,  O&K 10905, was dismantled in 1964 and seems not to have survived.
