This programme covers visits made by Alan Beard to Turkey in the early 1 980s and begins with operations on the former Smyrna-Cassaba and Ottoman main lines out of Izmir These routes were dominated by the wartime 'Kriegsloks' and 57001 class 2-1O-2s. We then take a look at the network of branches built by the Ottoman Railway to the south-east of Izmir and which became the last stamping ground for the elderly Prussian G8 type 0-8-Os working quaint mixed trains.

For the latter part of the journey a 'Kriegslok' double heads a GlO type 0-10-0. The pro granime concludes with a look at the splendid Henschel 2-8-2s working over the Konya-Afyon line.
