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!

That’s nice, to read that you get fed at your local model shop. I have never had that at any model shop! 
So if Caiptean has spent £5.45 on all 24 BMW Isetta’s, that comes to, £130.80!

@Bulleidboy
To date Hornby has produced Pull-Push sets 600, 601, 602, 603, 608, 610, 616 & 619 so there are still a few more to go.
Then there are the Kernow Gate-Stock sets 363 & 373 in BR livery so you might have a dilemma...........
I don't see Kernows producing more sets of the Gate Stock - and I have 363 & 373. However, with Hornby you never know when a particular "train pack" may be produced. I'd like a Birdcage set, but I'm also running out of storage space! Then of course the new Bulleid coaches might arrive by the end of the year.

So your local model shop, Caiptean, has none left!
I went to Cheltenham Model Centre yesterday. I couldn't find any for sale.
