Turkish classic
Built in the UK by Robert Stephenson, TCDD 46101 was one of six stylish 2-8-2s originally built for the Ottoman Railway Company in 1929/1932 and was seen at Izmir Basmane station in January 1976.
In their final years they could all be found working out of Izmir, mainly on suburban and local passenger workings, but on my visit eight years later only one was left in service shunting the local docks.
