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:
Yes, I do hope to meet many of you at the [[Pioneer Valley Live Steamers|PVLS]] and [[Waushakum Live Steamers|Waushakum]] meets this month! I hope to have a notebook in hand and begin the process of filling in the many, many "unknown" spaces in the register.
These files will again appear on the [[IBLS]] webpage. We have finally broken through the 500 ceiling and are now at 508 entries. And a special thanks to those who are sending me info directly.
Looking forward to meetings very soon,
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
