OMG... I'm very sad to read about Mike 'Puddy' passing away... and at a relatively young age too. My condolences to his family for their loss. He was a regular participant on TB and was recently employed by Rapido. His passing is a loss for the TB family as well... Rest In Peace 'Puddy'.
Very Sad Indeed. Mike was always outgoing and ready to have fun with anything train related. So much fun to chat with here. Mike & Robin.
I did not connect the name Mike McGrattan with the nickname Puddington during the time I read his many posts on the n-scale forums. May he rest in eternal peace. I am now tempted to attempt to find some of his posts and will read them with a different perspective. He seems so young from my view point of age 76.
Never met Paddington, never corresponded with him. But from his posts he seemed like a really decent guy, and this has been quite a shock. Condolences to his family and friends. Rick
