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!

My latest acquisition -  A3 Minoru looking lovely in BR green.  It is the first locodrive A3 I have owned and it runs as beautifully as it looks.

Two slim dvd motors from Finland for my old gutless and troublesome Class 56 - you will run nicely if I have to spend the kids inheritance to do it.

A pair of motor bogies for my Atlas Feltham tram.

A GM shuttle unit to make it go back and forth after I have motorised it.

Two RM dvds @ a fiver each.

And a full refund of the Council Tax I was bullied into paying whilst I argued my case that my UK abode should not be subject to such a charge.

Waiting for delivery of a device that turns my PC into an oscilloscope.
