Spokane....12/03/07...Lil Puddy has arrived via the SP, GN and SP&S in Spokane.
After 3 days we find the lonely 'PUD' by itself awaiting dispostion.
So CLOSE...SO VERY CLOSE to it's home soil in the land of the Mapel Leaf. Aaaaaaah,
but it ain't to be, I'm afraid. Mistaken orders have arrived in Spokane......They
are all wrong.....BUT, No one is aware of the errors.
The last car handler, the SP&S, has recieved the incorrect disposition of poor Lil
Pud. It's to be shuttled to the Milwaukee Road shops for Disposition. It's 50' length
puzzles the Milwaukee Shop Foreman....but, his is NOT to question the orders. So....into
the shop Lil Pud goes.............
Will the error be found out?????? Can Lil' Pud be SAVED?????? Will BIG PUD Go 'CRAZY'
reading this????????? WHAT WILL HAPPEN ????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGG.......
(to be continued)
Spokane Division-Great Northern RR.. Press release Spokane Daily Bugle......The
boxcar known as Lil Puddy that has made it's way to our fare city from the Canadian
Northeast to places far and wide, arrived in Spokane this week past.
We reported the event, but Lil Pud just dropped out of site. We have found out some
interesting unsettleing developements. The 50' boxcar was suppose to be routed via
the SP&S to Portland and then on to the Southern Pacific to San Diego Ca. However,
we have learned that the SP&S station Master FORGED incorrect shop orders and Lil
Pud ended up in the Milwaukee Road shops here, with shop orders that included extensive
modifications.
Yes, Lil Pud has been found in the Milwaukee shops, Shop Foreman Byron Cuttingtorch
told us the 'shopping' was complete, and it was just now discovered that the orders
were a fraud.
We hope to have photos of Lil Pud later today. We understand Lil Pud will leave
for San Diego as scheduled.
F.J. Handcramp, Reporting

In a related developement...the SP&S agent accused of doctoring the the orders that
led to the modification has disappeared...More News as it comes in........
Nope.... no way....not buyin it.... it isn't Little Puddy.... how do I know....?
Easy.... if Dr. Frankencarver was goin to turn my little gal into a drover van;
he'd have gone for broke and made it a Canadian National drover van to really watch

HUH ??? I do not model the CN...er and did not know that CN had DROVERS...However.....If

of you.....
I had a chance to take Littl Puddy out to the Anaheim Convention Center for a day
of play.
Here he is on the Piute Flats layout. More on this layout in another thread.
Kids at the train show loved puddy!
Puddy on a few other modules at a train show
While visiting with the owner of the module the last three pics were takin on, one
of the other club members insisted Puddy come to his module. "Ah there's the world
traveler". Not sure if he had over heard me someplace else or word travelled around
the show.
