I'm glad to see that so many locos still remain there, I have driven 56359 on the line to Irmak and beyond (very enjoyable), but also by the looks of things...
This is great news. It is always nice to add some units, previously assumed gone, to the still existing loco list. Alas, you don't mention 45009 and 45017 that...

Jean-Patrick Thanks for clearing my memory, indeed the "special" train that used to be at Alsancak was a wonderful thing - pity someone damaged it so badly in...
