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!

Bought at a local show from my favourite West Country dealer. An attractive J-92 in mint condition, boxed and at well under what seems to be the going price. Very pleased with the loco, which is an excellent runner. Private livery "Cadley Hill No 1"  in green and red. (Tried unsuccesfully to load a picture- sorry about that).

Jim, I'm fascinated by The Royal Alex'. Not seen one of these before. Looks really nice and in good condition. Be good to put it on display. Well done.
