Dear friends:
 
This is the first update of the directory since 6 January 2024. We’re up to 710 locos – 17 more than last time. I’ve updated a similar number of existing files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the quality of the registry.
 
I’m usually confused by ownership issues within and between the Montreal and Pioneer Valley clubs. It seems that locomotives change hands whenever someone’s birthday comes around! =) Who, for example, now owns Al Hubbard’s Atlantic (see “442.free.Hubbard”)?
 
At least in this registry, the most frequent wheel arrangements are the 76 Americans and the 75 Hudsons. At appears a lot of people liked New York Central. If you include the foreign prototypes, we have 82 4-4-0’s.
 
Are people aware that the UK’s “Rugeley Power Station Society of Model Engineers” holds an annual 3 ½”-gauge rally? It will take place on 31 May in 2025, the location is just north of Birmingham.

Gvardeysk/Russia,
10 December 2018
Dear friends:
Great to have met a number of you and also the locos during August in Mass.!
That also includes [[Daris A Nevil|Daris Nevil]] from Texas. It would be really neat to crash
the [[Montreal Live Steamers|Montreal LS]] anniversary meet in June 2019, but the time doesn’t suit.
It was very kind that Cap Purinton loaned me four of the old photo albums
during the [[Waushakum Live Steamers|Waushakum meet]] last August. I haven’t listed all the locos I
noticed in those files yet – I still have 10 or so to go. But I wanted to
have this updated version out before the end of the year. This is only the
third version this year, note the code “18-03”.
Perhaps a few things now make more sense: I think both of the
standard-gauge-style 2-4-4T’s were built by [[Gene Stevens]] in the 1930s-40s.
Removing the glitches and errors is of course a constant task – always
helpful for any and all additions and corrections.
In the files I have changed my eMail from “web.de” to “gmx.de” as seen
below. Not a big deal; I use three-four addresses total and nothing needs to
be sent double.
Hearty Christmas greetings,
Bill Yoder

The Registry

Russia, Kaliningrad region,

31 January 2025

Dear friends:

This is the first update of the directory since 6 January 2024. We’re up to 710 locos – 17 more than last time. I’ve updated a similar number of existing files. I always appreciate it when I’m sent new info or corrections – that always improves the quality of the registry.

I’m usually confused by ownership issues within and between the Montreal and Pioneer Valley clubs. It seems that locomotives change hands whenever someone’s birthday comes around! =) Who, for example, now owns Al Hubbard’s Atlantic (see “442.free.Hubbard”)?

At least in this registry, the most frequent wheel arrangements are the 76 Americans and the 75 Hudsons. At appears a lot of people liked New York Central. If you include the foreign prototypes, we have 82 4-4-0’s.

Are people aware that the UK’s “Rugeley Power Station Society of Model Engineers” holds an annual 3 ½”-gauge rally? It will take place on 31 May in 2025, the location is just north of Birmingham.

All the best for 2025,
Bill Yoder
