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!

They are a great bit of kit LCDR.

It was my birthday recently and my parents bought me the 'Going Home' Train Pack (R3299). My LMS fleet is now four locomotives strong.

I fitted the front NEM coupling to Ayrshire Yeomanry. I'm also considering fitting the front steps to her, but I have a second radius inner oval, which might be too tight for steps, and I'm not sure if I'll need to use poly cement instead of PVA to fit them.
