RR Museum of Catalonia

We were of vacation in Europe, staying in Barcelona for a few days, where I found the RR Museum was an hour away by commuter rail.

It’s an old engine roundhouse where they collected a lot of old steam, diesel and electric locos.

All the locos seem well kept, with fresh paint.

Inside the roundhouse are a bunch of older locos.

And they even have a Krocodil.

I liked the little exhibit about track gauges - pretty useful in a country that is wide gauge but built a high-speed network that is std gauge, for interchanges with other countries.

Obviously I have a lot more pics, but I figured that would be enough to wet your appetite.

I like the gauge track set up, that’s pretty good idea!

Thanks Peter,

Love the roundhouse picture. The Barcelona museum was not even on our radar. Guess I better look into a round the world airfare now. :grin:

You may consider the appetite whetted! Thanks for sharing!
