Cem to lose two more steam railway engines.....
« on: 07 August 2010, 16:16:09 »
or put another way, two Stanier 2-8-0 8F steam railway engines are to return from Turkey to Britain, hopefully in October, for use on an uknown preserved railway (or two!).  :) :) :)

Originally part of a batch of 20 8F's, allocated numbers between 45151 and 45170, intended for War Department use during WW2, they were finally exported to Turkey in 1941-42.  Some of these engines were last used in 1980 before being discarded. 

Over 250 of these 8F engines, many built by North British, were sent overseas, where many stayed throughout their lives.  Among a number already repatriated is fully overhauled 45160, currently LMS numbered 8274, on the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway (but masquerading under a different number in this picture - don't ask, it is what happens often in railway preservation!! ::) ::)) :



So Cem, another two getting away, but I understand Turkey is keeping two (45162 & 45168) preserved, with a further two going to remain for the immediate future :D :D :D ;) ;)

This Cem apparently was the Çatalagzi railway dump in 1989, one of a number I suspect:

Anyway, cannot claim anything but I obtained that picture of the "scrap yard" off the internet! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D

Hope all is well in sunny Turkey this morning Cem 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) :y

Sorry to hear you are not well cem :(
Those temperatures must be taking it out of you, so plenty of fluids (preferably alcoholic ;)) & lots of sleep if you can. Get well soon  :y
