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!

Box of bits from Peters Spares including a Class 58 motor bogie which will hopefully replace the troublesome Class 56 ringfield bogie I have struggled with for years.

Out of the frying pan into the fire I think. The cl 58 motor is a totally gutless screaming banshee. IMHO of course.

Maybe I will put it in an HST instead of TTS to represent the Screaming Valenta engine Rog.
