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!

I bought this for £10.50. Mint Unused
In 1999 I got my first train set...One of the Hornby Industrial Freightmaster ones. I still have it to this day, it contained the same loco (albeit in a different livery) and three wagons.
Absolutely love it, will never get rid of it.

This seems to be a new loco with the new type can motor. Can't get used to there being no noise when running it! All my other locos are oldies and noisies!

On the way to assembling a rake of LMS coaches I got this one for £4.20. It was sold on EBay as lacking hooks. So I easily swapped bogies from the end of a couple of guard's coaches and now have a nice coach at a price I like - bargain basement.

You don't get the smell of the old motors either! :-(
