  We consider a class of space-times given by a stationary extension of the
Zipoy-Voorhees metric that was found by Halilsoy. We show that the solutions do
not describe rotating sources but must be interpreted, similarly to the NUT
case, as deformed sources endowed with a gravitomagnetic charge. We show that
the Halilsoy family is directly linked to the NUT space-time, which can be
obtained in the limit of vanishing deformations. We investigate the motion of
test particles and photons in this class of space-times, in particular the
innermost stable circular orbits and photon capture radius. Finally we show
that this class of solutions possesses a sub-manifold where closed time-like
curves are allowed.
