Eastern Europe,
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:


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.

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.

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
