Vagó our socks PXfh 12.001

The Px fh 12.001 maintenance wagon was built using the axles and bearings of an old electrification draisine manufactured in the mid-1920s to serve the Norte company's electrifications in Catalonia. This draisine served in Mora la Nova and was converted into a platform wagon at the end of the 1960s, being retired in the 1990s.

In 2017, it was recovered, and using its axles, grease boxes, and part of the brake gear, a completely new car was built in the likeness of a half-side car. It was fitted with a vestibule to access the interior, where wooden benches allow for seated travel. The car was equipped with a screw-type brake.

It entered service in 2018 at the museum, where it continues to serve visitors on the numerous routes behind diesel or steam locomotives.
