TURKISH 8F'S & YANKIE TANK LOCOMOTIVES.

Any more pics please

 

Thanks for the picture, nice to see them back home.

Here is a lovely film of 45160 on shunting duty along with a S-160;

Including yours truly as shunter!

 

I seem to have missed this, but who owns the two locomotives and where is their ultimate destination?

 

Brilliant

 

I think this link has been posted before. Some details of their journey between Sivas Depot and Alsancak Port

To be fair, I only took and posted the inital photo, but it's really nice to see others' takes on the event - and the photographer was standing next to me for a lot of the pics! As for ownership Neil, it is only fair at the moment to say that they are privately owned.
Many thanks
Anthony

 

So maybe i'm granular but I noticed 1 8F seems to have a rectangular buffer beam, the other a curved corner radius bufferbeam like most LMS locomotives

Is this a difference between LMS and WD versions, just something that happened during it's life or just one of them things ?

 

The front buffer beam will have been a replacement fitted in Turkey, the buffers aren't of the original pattern either.

 

Aye true, but you've got one, is it the same one that the group that own 76084 are going to restore?

 

Yes, that is is, looking forward to meeting the group when they come up and down to meet the engine!

 

Very good. Are you asking yourself the inevitable question now Anthony, would you rather have a 8F to restore or a steam roller?.....

 

Is there a date on the film clip?

 

November-December 1983

Cheers

Lovely as the 8F is, I can't drive it and the family to the pub... ;-)

The clouds over at least one of the engines seem to be lifting slightly - Heritage Railway reports a 76084 Group spokesman as saying it is intended to operate 45170 on the NYMR once 76084 is finished.
