Not guilty, Your Grace. But yes, that was my impression of Mr Isle while he was here.

Have a captured a short person with a model that is tall? Is that even possible?

Narrow Minded · Post by **Narrow Minded** » Tue Dec 18, 2012 11:16 am

maybe he's tall when his head's on, but short each time it falls off?

Quite possible, just depends on the scale you used........

If he's 6' in 16mm scale, then he's only 4'4" in 7/8" scale, which is definitely in the height challenged category.

Looking at him, he's what we'd describe in Aust. as 'knee height to a bullant and twice as angry'.

Ok, Victor Isle was last seen somewhere between the PDLR and the CVLR, any news?

Is there a reward for finding him??

Thanks to a heads up from Mr Huss I have just dropped in here, late I'm afraid. But no Mr Isle has arrived on the CVLR as of yet? Is he lurking to make a surprise visit when we are doing something rather risky in train running?

NEWS:

Victor Isle has been located and is safe. He will be catching the postal service to the CVLR on Monday. We may never know what he got up to during his weeks of disappearance... What do you think he got up to?

He must have heard about my galavanting around the UK rail network, and wanted to do the same!

I bet he was inspecting the underground

He might have invested in a personal diesel to save himself from getting lost again.

I'm sure I saw someone fitting his description at Abbey Wood Crossrail site last week. That's probably kept him busy

hussra · Post by **hussra** » Mon Feb 04, 2013 10:00 am

I never thought I'd be glad to hear of him turning up again. (That reminds me, though - I think I shall need to do some grovelling, haven't completed all the tasks that his report on the EHLR said had to be done within 3 months!)

Mrs F Controller · Post by **Mrs F Controller** » Fri Feb 15, 2013 10:57 pm

Glad he turned up safe and sound! Was beginning to get a bit worried!

Dr. Bond of the DVLR · Post by **Dr. Bond of the DVLR** » Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:44 pm

Not to worry anyone again but I haven't heard from Mr. Isle for a while am not sure where he's got to!

I'm so glad that I decided not to take part in this. What a total farce!

How difficult is it? You receive the figure, take some photo's and post it on, do your write-up on here and the job's done.
YOU asked to take part, and so took on the responsibility - why mess it up for everyone else involved by not bothering to get on with it?

There's really no excuse - if your line isn't "fit for purpose", tell Zach that you're not ready and get moved down the list - if you're expecting the figure and it hasn't arrived, tell Zach it's missing - if you posted the figure on, tell Zach when and where to.

This was meant to be a "community exercise" but the result so far is little more than an example of peoples self-centered attitude and total lack of responsibility.
Sad.
