A Steam Enthusiast’s Paradise: Turkey 1978-1983

If after the Christmas celebrations you’re getting fed up with assum Meleagris gallopavo domesticus, come and enjoy a presentation of Turcorum ferri vapor equis, from excellent photographer Peter Robins.

Turkey was a steam enthusiast’s paradise between 1978 and 1983 as locos from more than twenty different classes were used over much of the country. The presentation covers many of the steam operations including the intense suburban services around Izmir in the west, heavy freights in the spectacular Euphrates gorge in the east and American built locos on both passenger and freight workings along the Black Sea coast in the north. A few working 8F’s are also included.
