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!

Budget Day today, so may have to make some cuts! I think there may have to be some easing of acquisitions. My collections, compared to some is small, about sixty odd loco's. With nine on pre-order, that will take it in excess

of seventy - and as yet, still nowhere to run them. Like many, I buy what I like, although BR/SR seems to dominate. I recently acquired a Blue Box 4CEP unit, just because the price was ridiculously low (Liverpool currently £69)- I paid less than that - but

did I really need it? I think it's going to be a frustrating year.

I am tempted with that too at £69

As some will already know from another forum here, Railmaster.

And an SR 2-Bil on pre-order. I too model what I like.

And thanks for all the fish …

Think I might get a couple of U.S/Canadian locos to run on my layout.

Last thing was the Hornby L&Y pug and a blue boxed Ivatt class4 260 sometime last month. Am not buying much at the moment as I have the 42, 52 and 72XX on pre-order as well as the Star. As I am having to save my spending limit each month any delay in the

release date is somewhat beneficial!
