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 Christmas present to the Little Controller and myself (who am I kidding !). Saved more that £40 by winning it on that well known auction. Have secretly tested it and run it in but am hiding it until Christmas Day Wink

 Just taken delivery of a ROCO HOe starter set with a nice 0-6-0 outside framed tank loco and a couple of bolster wagons with a log load. All for around £90 including p&p - quite a reduction on this sort of thing!

 

I've also managed to order a Railroad County of Devon 4-4-0 for around £60 including p&p but am still awaiting delivery.

 

Also got SWMBO an R2941 LBSC 0-4-0 as a bit of fun for Christmas.

Two LMS Coronation brake coaches, delighted to find them in Red, as blue seems predominant for this set.
