So in Spain for the Europe the type was relatively widespread, in France only two networks made construirent such machines, and still in version tender, and the SNCF made as for it build only one promising prototype but arriving too late. As regards the 242 T it acted of heaviest, fastest and the most powerful machines of this type in Europe.
