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!

A Re-Magnetiser, - I should have had one YEARS ago!!

It had given a new lease of life to my Hornby Dublo R1.

What is the cost of a re-magnetiser?

They are not cheap. I got mine through membership of the HRCA so my price was a member's price,

Ask this guy direct as until 1 month ago was still active on utube.

Many thanks!

So that's where I left it.

Been buying some more stuff, bought a nice voltmeter for my test bed, it was so cheap it was worth getting, just got to fit a resistor to prolong the life of the display and a bridge rectifier.
