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.

Hi guys, and the ladies, too!
So we’ve finally passed the 300 mark and are up to 306 locos. Of course we still have all kinds of information holes.
I’ve worked my way through virtually all of Purinton’s [[Live Steam of Years Gone By]]. My apologies for the poor quality of the scans. I think I can still glean a good bit from the [[IBLS]] webpage. I realize now that this research really gets into the 1930s and 40s – ¾ inch is of course the oldest of the US’ major live steam gauges.
Who can help me out?
Is this Uintah beauty by Grant 3 ½ or 4 ¾-inch gauge?
[[File:Grant Uintah 2016.jpg|thumb|center|300px]]
And is this 4-4-2 by Morris in CA 2 ½ or 3 ½-inch gauge?
[[File:Morris Atlantic 2016.jpg|thumb|center|300px]]
This is the second edition for 2016 – there should be one or two more.
Happy summertime steaming! I hope to see the prototype-style train running in 5 inch gauge at the end of August at Gilling East in Yorkshire, UK. See: http://simongreener.com/rsme.org.uk
Would be lovely to meet any of you there.
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
