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!

My first contribution to this page surprisingly and a humble purchase to boot, but, in some eyes, will be seen as essential...
The Peco servicing cradle...
Now how humble was that? Next time I will try and put something super duper up... although my wallet might have other ideas

Got this today out of Limassol Lidl - not a loco but I'm sure I can find a use for it eventually...
Its about half the size of a regular 6" bench grinder. Variable speed and comes with a wooden box of bits and a flexy shaft attachment.
