DH27000 was a series of three diesel-hydraulic locomotives bought by the Turkish State Railways from Krauss-Maffei in 1960 as a possible alternative to the American DE21500. Though performance was good, TCDD chose to buy the General Electric models, possibly due to better financing model for the latter.
