Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

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!

Hornby Dock Shunter with the later wheels for code 100 track. Bought from the online auction site for £10 as an unboxed non runner, a spell in the works has got her going again, just got to clean the loco up and put it in a box from one of my piles of spare boxes. Loco has the later issue code 100 wheels so modern track is no problem.

Some lima carbon brushes and  springs and a railcar interior. The latter was bought because the chassis I am using to rebuild No 29 came from a parcels railcar and it only had a plain floor. However, after ordering it I have now discovered that my Hornby Parcels Railcar has a full interior so I could have got away with a swap.

A lot of the boxes were from the old family shop, some customers didn't want the boxes so instead of binning them over the years, they were just shoved in one of the upstairs store rooms. I have piles of them, these are just the tip of a big iceberg.

Got away lightly in the wallet department during my visit to Great Eastern Models.

Some handrail wire, a traffic light controller and a Police Mini van, which will be converted to a flashing blue light when I do my Coastguard Land Rover.

Hornby "Gadwall" with TTS fitted has just arrived. I look forward to seeing the expression on the Little Controller's face when he returns from his school holiday. "I bought it mainly for him" says I. Anyone believe me?  Fine looking loco.
