Dear friends:
Dear friends:


I believe I have all the locos entered finally which were copied out of Cap Purinton’s old albums at Waushakum last August. That puts us up to 558 total.
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.
 
I repeat: Removing the glitches and errors is a constant task – I’m always happy for any and all additions and corrections. I had some trouble creating PDF files this time and it looks like the photos turn out darker with some PDF-softwares. Apologies.
 
One big question for this time: This very nice CN 6218 appeared on the “Classic Canadian Nation” Facebook page on 5 March. It is now reportedly at the “Quebec Model Railroad Society” in the city of Quebec. Is she 3 1/2” gauge, and is she indeed live steam? Who knows? She needs to be that to qualify for our site.
 
Richard Symmes of Beverly MA responded almost immediately that this model was made from wood and cardboard by [[Wilbur T. Frey]] of Vermont and later, Arizona. Frey “built over 200 steam loco models during a 40-year period. They were not to scale, but based on visual ‘measure’ from photos sent to him.” One can find more via [https://www.google.com/search?q=wilbur+t+frey+gallery+of+locomotives Google].

Happy Summer steaming,
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.

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
