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!

Just received R3395TTS Mallard LNER class4 '4468'............my first Hornby TTS locomotive and very good value for £79.50.............even in railroad trim it is very well detailed and looks good..........it worked perfectly straight out of the box and I'm impressed by the range of sounds..........my only reservation is the sound reproduction, I think a better speaker would be worth installing........

This...
hand made in glass for me as I watched...
I will find somewhere for it on my layout so it will have model railway connotations.
