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.


Dear friends:
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.


Assuming there are no more than several thousand 3.5”-gauge, North American-prototype steamers around - plus foreign-prototype steam located in North America - then I think I could claim that we have begun to scratch the surface with 213 entries to date. But the entries still have all kinds of holes – only a few entries have answers to all six questions. And some entries of course contain mistakes. I even had a 1 ½” PRR 4-4-2 in the last version of the files from the end of October!
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.


Of course, the entries cannot get better than the info I receive, so I will remain grateful for any and all help and info offered. Who could help out with the CV 2-10-4. for ex.? I now have the [[Charles S. Purinton|Puritons’]] [[Live Steam of Years Gone By]], but that info is not yet integrated into the text.
All the best for 2024, may world peace arrive soon,


Wouldn’t it be neat if this effort could lead to at least a few lost engines being found in cellars and attics and returned to active service!
[[Bill Yoder]]


With the very best wishes! I was just in the States for over five weeks, mostly in Florida. Do hope I will meet some of you someday. Remember: the [[Leyland Society of Model Engineers]] will be having their 3 ½”-gauge only rally up near Manchester in the UK on 24 April 2016.

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
