TCDD 56501 Class

The TCDD (Turkish Republic Railways) 56501 Class is a class of 2-10-0 steam locomotives provided by Germany during the Second World War.

After the outbreak of the Second World War, the United Kingdom was unable to supply locomotives ordered by TCDD.

Nazi Germany stepped in and offered the Turks DRG BR 52-type Kriegloks.

10 were supplied in 1943, and 43 more were lent to the Turks in 1943/1944, the loan of which was made permanent after Turkey declared war on Germany towards the end of the war in Europe.
