We had a bunch of orphans come through here just a bit ago and we don't know where they are right now :o ... This may sound strange, but we're looking for these orphans, so if you know where they are, hang on to them and let us know, we are planning on putting them up for adoption very soon....

This is a public service announcement brought to you by your local railroad.

Please, do not panic when you find one of these orphans, they will not harm you and they don't even require feeding, all they are asking for is some love and attention. We will let you know how to do just that very soon., so just chill out for now...

Oh!! the temptation is too overwhelming:
Don,
Is the Orphanage, that period of time when Orphans ran freely and safely through the wild lands of this world ???


:oops: oh, yes, I, did :oops:

I knew of one named Annie. She had bad eyesight because there were two white spots where her eyes should be. She was one heckuva singer though.

No, no, no, those were slices of cucumbers, not eyes. You thought she was at an orphanage, but it was really a spa.

Uh, that could have been Oliver, who was also a good singer..

The one's we're looking for are all a bit smaller than those two.

My layout has been feeling like an orphan lately seeing as I haven't done much to it in a long time....

Has anyone found any of these wayward orphans yet? I'm sure there are a lot of them around, you just may not recognize them or you're looking in all the wrong places. Look around, you're bound to spot one or two, they range in ages from a few months old to several years old.

Keep looking, we'll explain why shortly. :?

Haven't seen any orphans any way shape or form.

I'll bet you have, you just turn a blind eye to them and look past them when you do see one. Keep looking.....

There is a logical reason for this search and we'll let you know in a bit what that is.

Are we adopting smiley faces???? :band2"

We will be adopting...'nuff said for now............. :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek: .........

Are we looking for orphans...?? Or wayward children..??

You should have started this sooner, When I was back East, I rediscovered the Long Island Railroad.......now there's an "orphan" :o

I believe the orphan you're looking for is a type od discarded, or unwanted, passed over loco, or piece of rolling stock; just left to itself like an orphan.
