★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's an extraordinary and large museum. Many locos, but maintenance seems to be zero. Nothing is running or being looked after. Why it is where it is in such an isolated place is not explained, it no longer even has a rail connection. The remaining rail lines have been bizarrely diverted further from the village - don't want anyone to USE the railway do we.... Allow c. 2 hours to visit

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Open Air Museum with late 1800's era steam locomotives from German, England and French origins. Snow plowing, railroad maintenance and crane cars are also stored at the area. There is also a private railcar dedicated and privately designed and build for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Founder of Republic of Turkey, in the purpose of inspections of Western Manuevers.
The museum has restaurant for breakfast and dinner options, and at very good sightseeing location to bring small children and dogs, which annoyed at the long road to Bodrum.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Much more impressive than it looks from the pictures. It's like the NRS turned up to 11, with sun. Locos from all over the world, too many to count. And it costs peanuts too. If the cafe isn't open ( we went early), the (very turkish) place across the road is good for a coffee, and speaks great sign and point language.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Open air steam train museum closed due to the zombie apocalypse ????♀️?♂️?
I don't know much about health and science but if you have a museum outside it seems to me that would virtually be Rona proof... Much like all the other ruins that are outside and are open to the public with virtually no restrictions.... Unless of course you're the owner of a beautiful train museum and are absolutely petrified of your own shadow or a virus with a 99.98% survival rate..... Then of course you keep the museum closed ?♂️???
Sad really because y'all know how much I love old machines. I especially appreciate antique steam engines because in their day they were the workhorse that built the modern world we enjoyed today ?
Since we weren't able to actually go in the museum across the street we found what used to be the locomotive engineers house... Today it sits abandoned with the roof collapsed in but with a bunch of train parts like wheels and pistons inside of the lean to garage.
Across from the house are a few cranes that were used to unload train cars back in the day. Today they are sitting underneath the sun waiting for their turn to return back to nature from once they came ??️?️⚙️??⚒️??️?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent facility! At least 25 locomotives and numerous other cars. Turntable has 18 locomotives around it. Our group had a nice lunch on the grounds, watched carefully by the museum 's 2 or 3 dogs. Service is friendly and has good English. Clean restrooms.
