In 1982 the Turkish Railways (TCDD) received 15 former Deutsche Bundesbahn V100 diesel hydraulic locos.
On 31 March 1984 I saw two in use on suburban trains in the Izmir era where they had recently replaced 70 year old German steam locomotives.
211-354, still carrying its DB livery, is seen soon after departing Izmir Alsancak station with a train for either Buca or Seydikoy.
