Couldn't quite figure where to find this. Any further advice?

Just when I was working on loosely translating the lingo, the majority of the screen was pre-empted by a "donde est la bolitas" graphical nuisance.

Ditto Bob's request: what and where?

The link was cut and pasted from another board.
Sometimes it works-sometimes it doesn't. I suspect that is the way those tripod home pages work. I'll check it out and report back.

It's at the 'Fundacion de los Ferrocarriles de Galicia' at Lugo, Spain. Galicia is a region in the northwest part of the country. The locomotive is an Alco DL500. They also have an operable British-built 2-8-2, and are restoring two electric locomotives. Here's a link to an English-language website that lists the equipment and has several additional photos.
