What's your latest aquisition?

Here's my latest purchase, a Tri-ang-Hornby R.754 M7 in BR Black livery.

The box was tatty, crew were missing and the BR totem transfers on the tank sides were part missing as per normal.

The model is slowly being restored, a fresh box mint was found on ebay with incorrect labels (the one on the right) and I have crew and original totem transfers a plenty in stock, I will post stages of the restoration at intervals for all my friends on here to see as they take place.

Here's the loco pre-restoration but with nice new original 40+ BR Totem transfers put on the side tanks, a packet of the original transfers is posed by the loco for reference.

Hope all at Hornby like what I am doing to their old locos.

Enjoy!

All he gave me was abuse. Mind you, he was very polite when we went to Swanage. Probably because his car was on my drive and he didn't fancy the long walk which would have been the result of rudeness.

On the other hand he bought a wardrobe I didn't want.

This from somebody that I GAVE some Thomas products to. I'll make a note of that.

One product.

And you gave it to my great-nephew, not me. It only came via my address!!!
