Dear friends:
Dear friends:


Here we have the first updated roster since late December.  
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.


Not that many new locos, but we’re now up to 609, 18 more than last time. I have updated a good number of pages. The 3 ½” Facebook page is a big help in that regard. Thanks especially for the photo work of Jim Leggett.
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.


I’m breaking my own rules by putting another incomplete loco in the files, but I couldn’t wait any longer – I’m excited. I’m referring to Chuck Balmer’s 6-8-6 PRR turbine #6200. See “686.PRR6200.Balmer”. I long-lost loco is being reborn!
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.


I repeat: Removing the glitches and errors is a constant task – I’m always happy for any and all additions and corrections.
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.


I don’t see myself doing this directory forever. Is there someone out there willing to take over the project and make it both bigger and better? Please let me know.
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.


Keep safe, I wish the USA peace, and may we all be able to travel once more. I hope to make it to Berlin on the 23rd – I haven’t been in the West since mid-Feb.
May our world very soon enjoy much greater peace.


All the best,
All the best for the Christmas season,


Bill Yoder

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
