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!

Hi Jimbo, i was very lucky to get it, when i first saw it i was a bit puzzled by the price until i researched where it came from, and if the Cat Controller goes anywhere near it he'll end up with a kick up the arris

It looks rather nice - any chance of a 3/4 shot to see side and end? 
I'm only being nosey!!
