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!

 Just bought the Oxford Rail DCC ready Dean Goods. Although it will run on a 9V battery with no problems it shorts my Hornby Elite. I've phoned the supplier and will be sending it back today.

 

All other locos run on the track so I do not think it's the layout

I think as far as I can recall. this is the first time that I have posted in this thread. Just ordered this, fitted with Loksound V4 decoder & lightly weathered. Now looking out for some Yellow NetRail rolling stock to go with it.

 Got the GWR class 800 this morning.  Wow!.  Really raises the bar in many ways.  Just stunning.  Will hopefully have some film of it on my layout this weekend.

 After a long time with buying nothing at all for my model railway a pre-ordered Hornby R3450 class H 0-4-4T in SR livery arrived yesterday.  This nicely matches my Bachmann type C Rover set in lined green, and I now have examples of the same train in SE&CR, SR (pre-War) and BR early liveries.

I see here the price is reasonable, the level of detail great, powerful, running very straight
