Bill Yoder of Germany has compiled a list of 3/4 inch scale live steam locomotives in North America, both American prototypes as well as Foreign prototypes.

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.

I wasn’t very productive since the last issue at the end of December: two computers broke down, the demands of work, etc. I only added about 45 locos, we’re now up to 257. I understand now too that a lot of information holes can only be plugged by someone hitting the major 3/4 inch meets in North America and asking a bunch of questions. I can do some of that in the UK, but I would need partners in North America to make significant progress. There was some help after the December edition, and I want to thank the helpers for that.

As stated before: I now have the Puritons' "[[Live Steam of Years Gone By]]", but that info is not yet fully integrated into the text.

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,
