Dear friends!
Dear friends!


Yes, I’m not in North America now, but I did just spend the last three months mostly in Florida, where my parents reside. Got a good bit of steaming done, but it was all 7-1/2 inch.
With the sad passing of [[Kenneth Shattock|Ken Shattock]] on 6 May, I have suddenly needed to revise a good number of “contact” entries.


Now we’re up to 370 locos in this 3.5-inch-gauge roster. All kinds of information holes remain. All are invited to fill in the holes or correct info.   
The number of entries curve is leveling off: only 13 completely new entries since the last version in March. Now up to 383. I’m sure there are 500+ yet to go. Yes, it would be much easier to make progress if I could attend the major ¾” events in the USA. So I need the aid of other people’s eyes and ears. All kinds of information holes remain. All are invited to fill in the holes or correct info.   


The matter of a code designation for each loco may not be perfect yet, we may need to file and shape some more. But they are now at least alphabetized in the correct order.
A few men have kindly sent along thorough reports on their locos, which is much appreciated! One of the recent ones is Larry Fisher on the 0-4-0T under the foreign-prototype entries. See: “040T.Purinton.Corwin”.


Still no news on the Langworthy Hudson designated “464.NYC5297.Langworthy”.

Pat Fahey has been a significant help on issue 17-01, the first one for 2017. Thanks very much! A question, Pat: How correct is my information on the 4-6-6T I assume you still possess?
Another old request: I appreciate it if people publishing photos on the Internet, for ex. on the Chaski forum or Facebook, would include more info, including at least owner, builder and location of photo.

Dear friends!

With the sad passing of Ken Shattock on 6 May, I have suddenly needed to revise a good number of “contact” entries.

The number of entries curve is leveling off: only 13 completely new entries since the last version in March. Now up to 383. I’m sure there are 500+ yet to go. Yes, it would be much easier to make progress if I could attend the major ¾” events in the USA. So I need the aid of other people’s eyes and ears. All kinds of information holes remain. All are invited to fill in the holes or correct info.

A few men have kindly sent along thorough reports on their locos, which is much appreciated! One of the recent ones is Larry Fisher on the 0-4-0T under the foreign-prototype entries. See: “040T.Purinton.Corwin”.

Still no news on the Langworthy Hudson designated “464.NYC5297.Langworthy”.

Another old request: I appreciate it if people publishing photos on the Internet, for ex. on the Chaski forum or Facebook, would include more info, including at least owner, builder and location of photo.

Best regards,

Bill Yoder
