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!

£83 not a lot by present standards. It is heavy and very detailed. Move veeery slowly. 

 

The latest Hornby CL08 is £140, that’s another 60 quid.

Why look at ebay, its an auction site and things will be dearer. Look at Rails of Sheffield etc. LaughingLaughing

Just arrived from ebay.es - Mehano Renfe 333.313.5...............looks much like a Class 67 and the real ones were being produced along the 67s in Valencia in 2000.

 

Runs great and goes well alongside the other couple I have.

Modelling the RENFE in HO scale Era Vc with a sideline in MRL and British HO.
