Dear friends:
Dear friends:


So now we’re up to 163 locos, but the information on many locos is far from complete or current, and getting a high-quality directory will depend upon more info being offered by locomotive owners and their friends. And with luck, we should be up over 300 locos by the end of 2016. Without a photo, I do not want to list any loco.
This is the first update of the directory since 6 January 2024. We’re up to 710 locos – 17 more than last time. I’ve updated a similar number of existing files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the quality of the registry.
 
Count on the next up-dated version appearing at the end of December - or the end of January at the latest. In order to keep file size down, the directory will be split up into an increasing number of files as the number of entries grows. We have three files now.
 
You should always find the latest version of this directory on the IBLS website. If you don’t want to receive these files by eMail, I can easily drop you off the list.


Happy steaming,
I’m usually confused by ownership issues within and between the Montreal and Pioneer Valley clubs. It seems that locomotives change hands whenever someone’s birthday comes around! =) Who, for example, now owns Al Hubbard’s Atlantic (see “442.free.Hubbard”)?


Bill Yoder
At least in this registry, the most frequent wheel arrangements are the 76 Americans and the 75 Hudsons. At appears a lot of people liked New York Central. If you include the foreign prototypes, we have 82 4-4-0’s.

So now after two months we’ve logged 92 locomotives with no end in sight. Will we be hitting 1,000 in time? But only if we get information from present and past owners can we greatly increase the quality of this effort. We need people in-the-know to fill in all the missing chunks. In most cases, logging the loco on this page is only the beginning!
== Submitting ==


The recently-added Rick Hann (see foreign-prototype 0-6-0T) did everything right. He sent me all the info requested plus photos. I’m otherwise in the business of trying to find locos on the Internet.
To register your 3/4 inch locomotive, or to provide information on the whereabouts of one, please email Bill:


As stated previously: I can only mail out these two files to people who have given me an email address. But hopefully these lists will also be appearing on the IBLS (International Brotherhood) webpage.

The Registry

Russia, Kaliningrad region,

31 January 2025

Dear friends:

This is the first update of the directory since 6 January 2024. We’re up to 710 locos – 17 more than last time. I’ve updated a similar number of existing files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the quality of the registry.

I’m usually confused by ownership issues within and between the Montreal and Pioneer Valley clubs. It seems that locomotives change hands whenever someone’s birthday comes around! =) Who, for example, now owns Al Hubbard’s Atlantic (see “442.free.Hubbard”)?

At least in this registry, the most frequent wheel arrangements are the 76 Americans and the 75 Hudsons. At appears a lot of people liked New York Central. If you include the foreign prototypes, we have 82 4-4-0’s.

Are people aware that the UK’s “Rugeley Power Station Society of Model Engineers” holds an annual 3 ½”-gauge rally? It will take place on 31 May in 2025, the location is just north of Birmingham.

All the best for 2025,
Bill Yoder
