Talleres Generales de Madrid RENFE ZZ-307
The ZZ-307 lounge car was based on the third-class car CWFFV 307, built in 1928 by La Material de Ferrocarriles y Construcciones, S.A. (Barcelona). Ten years later, in 1938, its major refurbishment and conversion into a lounge car began, which was not completed until 1946 at the General Workshops in Madrid, following the Civil War and the nationalization of the railway companies that had been part of RENFE since 1941.
This car has a large meeting room and a restaurant. From the corridor you can access the other compartments: a private bathroom with shower, a compartment with a single bed and washbasin, two folding seats with shared toilets, a kitchen with a coal boiler and stove, a service compartment with two bunk beds and a toilet located at the end of the car.
In April 1987, the carriage was taken out of service.
