Talgo II built 1949 by American Car Foundry, in service 1950 to 1972.
This was an unidirectional train of elements of six meters. The wheels
were fixed to the end of each body, the unit had to be turned around
at the end of each run. The first coach behind the locomotive was a
baggage car with doors, its front end supported by the rear end of the
locomotive. The four coaches preserved at Vilanova have no recognizable
numbers. Behind the baggage car we see two passenger coaches (one first
class with four rows of seats, one second class with five rows of seats)
and an observation car. I found a list of coaches at
listadotren,
though it leaves some questions open.

Rear view. The passenger and observation cars have no doors, you can only
get in and out through the baggage and service cars. A service car is not
preserved at Vilanova, those had toilets and air conditioning units.

Talgo II built 1949 by American Car Foundry, in service 1950 to 1972.
Detail of the wheels. Like all Talgo generations it has individual wheels
with no connecting axle. In the Talgo I and II these were not steered, so
the train could only go in one direction.

Side view of the observation car. The seating cars had the same window
arrangement, certainly offering a great view outside. The Talgo II and III
were riveted from corrugated aluminium sheet metal, similar to the way old
aircraft were built. In the Talgo Pendular and subsequent generations the
bodies are welded of extruded aluminium profiles.
