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!

An 009 Ffestiniog coach, to go with the two wagons on a Llanfair truck, I posted the pic of previously - one monor problem, the coach is longer than the long wheel-base truck that was going to carry it! - - plan B - (That's one of my r/c planes, in the background!)

You will need either a Flatrol, or a Carflat, to carry a narrow gauge bogie coach, unfortunately no-one makes these types in OO at present.
Here is one of the Vale of Rheidol line carriages on a 'carflat' at Shrewsbury, en-route for overhaul.
