Dear friends:
May our world very soon enjoy much greater peace.


The number of files is still increasing: now 14 files up from 7 last time. I think that is better; I am committed to keeping file size down. We’re now up to 457 entries. Among those are 48 4-4-0’s and 4-6-4’s each as well as 43 4-8-4’s. We have 34 4-6-2’s. 77 of the entries are foreign-prototype, which amounts to 17%.
All the best for the Christmas season,


A few men really got up-to-bat this time and helped: Eric Lagemann, Pat Hosford and Larry Fisher, for ex. Also, as always, Pat Fahey. I appreciate very much that Montreal’s Jim Leggett posts a good bit of stuff on Facebook. Of course, all kinds of room remains for improvements in these files.

I am still listing 4-6-6T’s ahead of 4-6-2’s and 4-6-4’s. I think that makes sense size-wise, for a 4-6-4T or a 4-6-6T is really only a snazzy Ten-Wheeler. But it doesn’t make sense in terms of numbers and I am planning to change this. Number-wise, 4-6-6T should come after 4-6-2 and 4-6-4.

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.

The Registry

Russia, Kaliningrad region

30 November 2022

Dear friends:

My forecast from a year ago turns out to be pretty much correct: This is the first update of the directory since 30 December 2021.

The really great news for 2022 amongst all the bad: Chuck Balmer’s 6-8-6 PRR turbine is complete. What a beauty! I understand it may still need some running-in.

We’re now up to 684 locos - about 33 more than last year. I’ve also replaced 20 or so loco photos with higher-quality ones.

Yes, I quake when I think of all the possibilities for misinformation in such a directory. What is one to do? I do as well as I can with mostly written sources, wading through old magazines and even googling obituaries. Sadly, I don’t have Pat Fahey, Steve Bratina or Jim Leggett living next door.

In closing a word from our non-sponsor: Bruce Hope from Greater London has done wonderful work for me and is open to taking on tasks from other hobbyists. If you would like to get in contact with him, drop me a line.

May our world very soon enjoy much greater peace.

All the best for the Christmas season,

Bill Yoder
