Credits & Explanations

With considerable encouragement from, and contributions by, MAXIME BONNIER of MAINLINE DIESELS NET, without whom this research would have been very much harder ...... John Whittingham.

  • Andre Kristopan's EMD locomotive list on community-1.webtv.net/ajkristopans has a section for the EMD-licence locomotives built in Spain. The sequencing of list shows that some entries have builder numbers exactly 1000 greater than one would expect. His list is sequenced without considering the extra 1000. It is effectively in the sequence that builder numbers would have been issued by the factory.
  • www.mainlinediesels.net has a section for Vossloh Rail Vehicles.
  • Wikipedia (plus other sources I was pointed to, or thought of) has more data about the EMD-powered locomotives, particularly their wheels / prime mover / track gauge.
  • I could now realise that the 1000-higher builder numbers are because they are (initially at least, but not indefinitely) for locomotives built for Export customers rather than Home (i.e. Iberian) customers. So the overall total number of locomotives built is exactly 1000 less than the highest number allocated.
  • www.listadotren.es has details of Spanish diesel and electric locomotives. Its dates for the EMD-licence locomotives are better than the Andre Kristopans ones. His give a range of dates by batch and, I suspect, some of his dates are for despatch of components from the USA rather than for completed locomotives being ready for delivery in Spain.
  • www.vossloh-espana.com has a references section listing some (but by no means all of) production and orders
