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!

OK, I will do for now on, mate. I wasn't sure your name is Chris and I didn't want to make that assumption, in case it isn't your name. Sorry about callling you Chrissaf all this time!

That's me. Jacob you'll probably end up as JW. 
By the way the loco was £75.

No need for apologies Jacob, many on here use Chrissaf, some use Chris. I really don't mind either way. If I was offended by the use of Chrissaf, then I wouldn't have chosen it as a forum ' user name'. I'm just suggesting that Chris is a friendlier greeting. For example, people call Fishmanoz, Fishy and 2e0dtoeric, Eric for the same reason. It also saves on typing to use shortened abbreviations like those above and also other abbreviations like WTD for 'Walking the Dog' for example.
Thaonkou Chris. I will be calling you Chris in the future. That is true about your username. Why would you choose it, if you get offended by it?
I think I will start calling Fismanoz, Fishy and 2e0dtoeric, Eric in the future, if they don't mind, of course!

I don't mind what I get called. Jacob Wilson, Mr. Wilson, Jacob, JW, etc. I really don't mind, as long as it isn't rude!
Good price, walkingthedog.
Do you mind if I call you WTD, walkingthedog?
