Dear friends:
Dear friends:


Yes, on 3 July 2021 I had announced that this registry effort was “half-dead”. That’s roughly correct. There are nice people who have kindly helped, and it is very difficult to disappoint them and drop the matter entirely.
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 up to 651 locos, which is 14 more than last time. I have updated or corrected another 30-or-so files. I see the Balmer 6-8-6 is still making progress. Terrific! We’ve also found a 2nd Beyer-Garratt right in front of our noses on the IBLS webpage. There was recent talk about an original Dan Culp ¾” 4-6-6-4. Does anyone know more about it?
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.


Please do send any-and-all corrections and new entries. But please be patient: The next update may not be before the end of 2022.
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.


: Godspeed and peace to all,
A piece of “important” trivia: Of the 46 Virginias listed, seven have outside valve gear.
: Bill Yoder
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.

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
