Dear friends!
Dear friends!


With the sad passing of [[Kenneth Shattock|Ken Shattock]] on 6 May, I have suddenly needed to revise a good number of “contact” entries.
In order to decrease file size, I have turned the three files into seven. Pickings were thin this time until Pat Fahey published extensive files on [[Bill Van Brocklin]]’s locomotives on the [[IBLS]] website. So we’re now up to 415 entries. Much more could be done yet on North American-prototype stuff in the UK and the Commonwealth in general.


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 continue to send along thorough reports on their locos, which is much appreciated!


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”.
An old request: I appreciate it if people publishing photos on the Internet, for ex. on the [https://www.chaski.org/homemachinist/ Chaski] forum or Facebook, would include more info, including at least owner, builder and location of photo.


Still no news on the Langworthy Hudson designated “464.NYC5297.Langworthy”.
I will be in Florida from mid-October to the end of November, just in case that helps anyone with the sending of info.
 
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!

In order to decrease file size, I have turned the three files into seven. Pickings were thin this time until Pat Fahey published extensive files on Bill Van Brocklin’s locomotives on the IBLS website. So we’re now up to 415 entries. Much more could be done yet on North American-prototype stuff in the UK and the Commonwealth in general.

A few men continue to send along thorough reports on their locos, which is much appreciated!

An 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.

I will be in Florida from mid-October to the end of November, just in case that helps anyone with the sending of info.

Best regards,

Bill Yoder
