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!

No, I am not cornering the market in Thomas. I am trying to get all the Thomas models, that I can possibly get my paws on. These recent wagons are what I have wanted for a while. Got them each for not a lot of money, on eBay, in auctions, all are boxed and brand new.

 Just taken delivery of a Bachmann S&DJR 7F to keep my Hornby S&DJR 2P company! I am tempted to fit a TTS sound decoder to the 7F - can anyone suggest the most suitable given the wheel size and whistle?

On Friday, my friendly parcels postman delivered 2 Dapol ‘Flying Bananas’ one GW and the other BR (WR).  Mine’s The BR version, the other I purchased for a relative.  highly delighted with mine, which I DCC’d straight away,  very smooth if a bit noisy , will give it a proper run-in and hopefully the noise will reduce!
