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!

Good bargain there, Jeff. There are many seller's; who want around £4.99 per wagon and another couple of quid for postage. You spent less than £5.00 on the price of the wagon's and on postage. That was a very good bargain you have there. Well done.

Mjb looks like it will have to be Hattons at £189. Rails have sold out so they can advertise a price as low as they like.
