Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

Taken delivery of Hornbys new class 50 in NSE livery R3471 today. It arrived on Monday at the inlaws and had to wait 5 days to see it, I just love it. It was a long time coming, nearly 12 months on pre order, but in the stable now!. Great addition to my modern Diesel Loco collection, bring on more, Confess I will have to defect to get one of those class 68's.

I as an earlyish Christmas present treat myself to a couple of DJR 3D printed North Eastern Snowplough, at the Newcastle Model Railway Exhibition last weekend [12-13/11]. They come complete with all the necessary parts including wheels plus NEM bracket and coupling. Each kit even comes with panels complete with lettering for: the original North Eastern livery a sort of brick red colour, Oxford blue for LNER livery or British Railways black. Ok you'll have to paint the plough in your chosen livery, as the bodies come in a white resin. Which can be a bit fragile, though easily glued back together using [sparingly] superglue.

DJR is a small one man band recently set up producing "specialities" like lathes and other large machines for use in model factories They are producing also a couple of locos too.......

 I have bought a couple of Railroad maroon mark 1s for my Grandson's christmas present to go with his Duke of Gloucester. I also received three Hornby SR cattle wagons which are very good models indeed. The livestock train now has a very interesting variety of rolling stock, with SR, GW/BR,  LMS and LNER cattle wagons, and a 'Beetle' special cattle van and horse boxes of GW, BR and LMS design.

Hornby Power Booster, a bargain at less than £30 delivered from the famous shop , now resident in Widnes

 My Dapol Gauge O diesel shunter arrived yesterday from Liverpool / Widnes.  Very heavy, very slow and steady it should be an incredible hauler.

I must build my gauge O shunting layout!

This was in a lot of Triang/Hornby items I purchased off a very good friend of mine.  I still have my eye on the Lord of the Isles set he has, but this was the first thing I purchased from him.  It will run around the tree this Christmas!  I posted this to Twitter, and sent it to Hornby as well.

The set is gorgeous!  I only had to put new brushes in it, but the motor was super clean, all track was there, and two accessory bags were in the set, still sealed: one with the loco cab crew and the other having the track power clip and uncoupler!  Simply a gorgeous little set!

Treated myself to a J50 and J94 at Warley last week; slightly on impulse but as both have been on my "want list" for a while it's all good.
