The Electrotrén Basculante 443, better known as "Platanito," was Spain's first encounter with high speed. Its Italian counterpart, designed to increase speed on curves, utilized the so-called Active Tilting, a groundbreaking technology that involved tilting the car bodies in curves to enhance train speed while maintaining passenger comfort. Amazed by the results of the Italian prototype, RENFE's management decided in the late 1970s to request a prototype adapted to the Spanish network, which was delivered in 1976. The "Platanito" reached a speed of 200 km/h in its first year of testing and traveled extensively across our country, even being commercially operated on several lines of the national network. For years, it held the speed record in Spain at 206.8 km/h. Unfortunately, it suffered a breakdown during these tests from which it could not recover. The lack of spare parts and the associated costs, as it was a one-off, led to its decommissioning. Since then, it has remained in the Fuencarral depot with an uncertain fate, until the signing of a scrapping order. Fortunately, it was saved and has been on one of the tracks at the Castejón de Ebro station since 1994, under the selfless care of a group of volunteers who continue to look after it. Such a popular and unique vehicle deserves to be replicated and to run on enthusiasts' models. This is our way of paying tribute to this mythical automobile. And the fact is that the "Platanito" is, above all, just like us, an Electrotren.
