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!

Some HMRS LMS Methfix transfers to back-date my original G2A. I ordered these by mistake thinking they were pressfix. But rather than try to send them back I bought a bottle of meths and am quite pleased with the result.
I had damaged the tender coal rails so had o replace them, when spraying the coal rails the masking tape fell off and I oversprayed the tender so had to repaint that. I also damaged the cab grab rails and broke the whistle off so hd to repaint the cab and relace the whistle. The latter being Hornby from an old 101 body!
As I bet my usual acrylic varnish will bloom, I'll probably use one of my rare Humbrol Enmel sprays if the weather is OK tomorrow - err later today!
Oh just notied the tender is wrong!
