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!

Another purchase. Pity Hornby doesn't make these anymore with the sliding doors.

My Late BR J50 arrived today, currently running it in after installing the Decoder, and it's making a rather persistant whaling sound, do hope it stops once ran in.

 

I picked up one of the Balfour Beatty Sentinel's in the sale. And received the P2 & Tornado for Xmas

 Carriage Day 2.

 

Walking up Monkgate this morning I was inexorably drawn into the doorway of Monk Bar Models and found myself buying a 2015 Hornby catalogue (the last one??), another Railroad maroon carriage (Mk 1 TSO) , a BR (M) Crimson BG, a Crimson Gresley CL and a tank wagon. I really must learn restraint!!

Restraint? With trains?  There is no restraint, just lack of money. 

My latest aquisition is another Lima TGV and a gorgeous Roco VT 11,5 (still on its way from Germany) . There is just something about old streamliners. One day I WILL have a Coronation class but the prices are just silly
