Dear friends:
Dear friends:


Here we have the first updated roster since May.
This is the first update of the directory since 30 November 2022. I have no news
regarding Chuck Balmer’s 6-8-6 PRR turbine. It was featured and on the cover of the
May/June 2023 issue of “Live Steam”.


A few new locos still came trickling in, which puts us up to 591 total. Most of the work has been in updating existing files. We nevertheless have a few interesting newbies: a #999
We’re now up to 693 locos – nine more than last time. I’ve also updated 20-or-so
files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the
quality of the registry. I glean some info from the two 3 ½” sites on Facebook.


4-4-0 completed in 1903 (440.NYC999.Brandow), one more Big Boy (4884.UP4000.Young) and even a British 2-10-0 with a Franco-Crosti boiler (2100.BR92021.Wood)! Keith Wood of the Montreal Live Steamers is doing some amazing and complex work.
Newbies this time include a South African 4-6-2 in British Columbia. Greg Easter’s
Kozo D&RGW 2-8-2 is now nearly complete. Both are narrow-gauge. Hewitson’s CP 4-8-4
from 1946 is running well, perhaps for the first time ever.


I repeat: Removing the glitches and errors is a constant task I’m always happy for any and all additions and corrections.
A piece of “important” trivia: Of the 46 Virginias listed, seven have outside valve gear.
An attractive addition they’re not what the doctor (designer LBSC) ordered. Four of the 11
Challengers and Big Boys listed are in the UK.


A special thanks to Pat Fahey and Bob Nawa for their contributions to this update.
All the best for 2024, may world peace arrive soon,


Very sad that [[Fisher Detail Foundry|Larry Fisher]] and Mike Boucher have passed from us.
[[Bill Yoder]]
 
Wishing all nevertheless a happy Christmas and New Year,
 
Bill Yoder

The Registry

Russia, Kaliningrad region

5 January 2024

Dear friends:

This is the first update of the directory since 30 November 2022. I have no news regarding Chuck Balmer’s 6-8-6 PRR turbine. It was featured and on the cover of the May/June 2023 issue of “Live Steam”.

We’re now up to 693 locos – nine more than last time. I’ve also updated 20-or-so files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the quality of the registry. I glean some info from the two 3 ½” sites on Facebook.

Newbies this time include a South African 4-6-2 in British Columbia. Greg Easter’s Kozo D&RGW 2-8-2 is now nearly complete. Both are narrow-gauge. Hewitson’s CP 4-8-4 from 1946 is running well, perhaps for the first time ever.

A piece of “important” trivia: Of the 46 Virginias listed, seven have outside valve gear. An attractive addition – they’re not what the doctor (designer LBSC) ordered. Four of the 11 Challengers and Big Boys listed are in the UK.

All the best for 2024, may world peace arrive soon,

Bill Yoder
