In Spain, the only application of the Franco-Crosti was a conversion performed of the Renfe 140-2438 (ex-North 4,883) locomotive, apparently in 1948. (Originally, as reported by the magazine Railway Gazette in April 1948, it was intended to convert the 1400 machine series of MZA)

The only Spanish Franco-Crosti was equipped with a preheater below the boiler, so the overall height was considerable. It was originally planned to have preheaters at the side, when conversion of a MZA 1400 was contemplated.
I have seen it said that the most striking feature is that the exhaust "was placed in the center of the boiler, through the barrel" which would seem to be highly impractical in that boilers tend to be rather full of heating tubes. Having said that, this picture does seem to show something that looks rather like a chimney half-way along the boiler. The gas route currently remains rather a puzzle.
Thanks to Mark Lundquist for drawing my attention to this locomotive.

The career of this locomotive is currently unknown, but Museum staff are investigating.
