Description

In the mid 1930's, TCDD ordered these eleven Mikados. Their design is derived from the BR41, a successful German engine specifically built for fast freight duties. The 46051 are bit lighter than the BR41 and have larger wheels, they have many of the standard component from the German locomotives of the that time. The 46051 shares the same boiler and same engines than the 56001 that were produced at the same time. Only the wheel diameter was larger, thus the 46051 where faster than the 56001, but of course had less tractive power.

The 46051 were intended for fast passenger service along the Istanbul Ankara main line. Their tall wheels made them well suited to cross the Anatolian steppe. Once this line got dieselised, the 46051 found a home in Konya, working along the where they survived until the end of steam in Turkey, at the very end of the 1980's. Their design made them ideally suited for all kind of work on the light gradients lines around Konya. They remained unchallenged in Turkey in terms of speed for a steam engines.
