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!

Hey guys; was just wanting to check something; last November I placed a pre-order for the LNER liveried "Rebuilt Claud Hamilton", and the page for it says it's supposed to come out next month. What I wanted to check was, how accurate do you think that will be?

Well it is hard to say, as this is what Hornby are aiming for, but my 2 concession Brits have been put back several times and are now in the Dec period ( I think that is nearly 2 years out but I may be wrong). I hate things in the delivery system at this time but every year it happens. The Crosti is due this month and has been put back several times also. So keep your fingers crossed that the Chinese makers can keep to their delivery times for Hornby.

Got me some new stuff today; some very old Noch HO-scale diorama sets for a park and a garden plot- they date from '07, and haven't been in production for years.

Two Grafar LNER coaches for £11 each from an antiques arcade in Hungerford. The bodies are slightly damaged but the rooves, buffers and bogies are OK (usually I find it's the other way round.

I've already canabalised them between my LMS, GWR panneled and plain Choc-cream coaches making these models perfect.

It would appear my Crosti is about to be dispatched. Thank you Hornby. Better open up the mattress to find some money.

Can't you just keep it under the mattress like everyone else? Unless you are Graskie of course, too lumpy.

And thanks for all the fish …
