Dear friends:
 
This is the first update of the directory since 31 January 2025. We’re up to 734 locos now – 24 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.
 
We have at least two new jewels in this edition of the roster: an exquisite narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstable 2-6-2T from the UK (file roster #14) advertised on eBay from California. The other one is a UP 8444 4-8-4 (file roster #12) from New Zealand which has apparently disappeared somewhere within that country.

Dear friends:
The number of files is still increasing: now 14 files up from 7 last time. I think that is better; I am committed to keeping file size down. We’re now up to 457 entries. Among those are 48 4-4-0’s and 4-6-4’s each as well as 43 4-8-4’s. We have 34 4-6-2’s. 77 of the entries are foreign-prototype, which amounts to 17%.
A few men really got up-to-bat this time and helped: Eric Lagemann, Pat Hosford and Larry Fisher, for ex. Also, as always, Pat Fahey. I appreciate very much that Montreal’s Jim Leggett posts a good bit of stuff on Facebook. Of course, all kinds of room remains for improvements in these files.
I am still listing 4-6-6T’s ahead of 4-6-2’s and 4-6-4’s. I think that makes sense size-wise, for a 4-6-4T or a 4-6-6T is really only a snazzy Ten-Wheeler. But it doesn’t make sense in terms of numbers and I am planning to change this. Number-wise, 4-6-6T should come after 4-6-2 and 4-6-4.
An old request: I appreciate it if people publishing photos on the Internet, for ex. on the [https://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/ Chaski] forum or Facebook, would include more info, including at least owner, builder and location of photo.
Best regards and all the best for the New Year. May God grant our world peace,
Bill Yoder

The Registry

Russia, Kaliningrad region,

06 February 2026

Dear friends:

This is the first update of the directory since 31 January 2025. We’re up to 734 locos now – 24 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.

We have at least two new jewels in this edition of the roster: an exquisite narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstable 2-6-2T from the UK (file roster #14) advertised on eBay from California. The other one is a UP 8444 4-8-4 (file roster #12) from New Zealand which has apparently disappeared somewhere within that country.

All the best for 2026,
Bill Yoder
