Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

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!

Class 73. Lovely runner - even at low speeds and the detailing is fantastic. R-

 Just opened a parcel that came earlier today and found it contained the Pitchford Hall i ordered (split from the Tysely trainpack I think) It is a very nice runner and slightly disapointed with two aspects. The first and most important i that it has a smoke box door numberplate so not strictly in G W livery but I can probably remove it (done it so often before). owever it is such a lovely looking model I might just leave it and remember not to look at it head on!

Surprise package this morning  -  late crest Q6. Not unpacked yet but it appears to be worth the 40 year wait.

 

Went to the theatre a couple of weeks ago and I was in seat Q6

 An S&DJR 2P lovely lookin loco, off to test run and chip. Only slight moan I have is that it would have been nice to have matching couplings front and back but the nem pocket on the tender means I can fix that. Good job I don't use the small tension locks!
