Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

R3512 ,H class with push and pull coaches, only taken 14 days to get here. Must have had a good few water stop's on the way. Superb model run's perfect after a quick oil.

 Hornby R3276 Class 4P Compound 4-4-0 1072 in LMS Black with Fowler tender at a real bargain price from Hattons

Just received delivery of a Hornby HST 125 and MK3 coaches in the Virgin livery.

There's no coupling bars or hooks on the coach which isn't great, but I've got some knocking around somewhere. Hopefully, this will run just fine around my track.

Two weeks ago, I got the Metcalfe country station, having been posting in the "What was running on your layout today?" post. I added it in there. 

But after someone suggested putting it here, I decided I'd wait until I bought some new products before posting, so here we go. 

As I said, the Metcalfe country station, which was finished off last weekend. And today after my model shop trip. I bought some Gaugemaster products: mod - roc (GM100), and some assorted lichen (GM166). So this afternoon, I'll be looking through old boxes for polystyrene, to put the mod - roc onto.

 Just unpacked a parcel that came last week - A Dapol Express Dairies Egg van

The wife is going to ban me access to 'a certain internet auction site' when I travel!!

Last week I purchased an excellent-looking used Freightliner Class 57 (Bachmann) to 'banker' the biomass hoppers being hauled by the Freightliner 66 purchased 3 weeks ago.

Yesterday I couldn't resist it and JUST 'won' a Hornby Class 50 - always loved to see them in Newquay station as a teenager - big, muscular and quite stylish - belays the sheer size. Looking forwards to seeing the fan moving ... Not certain but I think it has opening doors - might be wrong, but looks great. D421 - trying to keep it as 'early' as possible!!

Put another way, I need to revise my enthusiasm into something a little more realistic!!

I think I've enough 'toys' for now anyway ... but with that D421, it'll need the blue and whites to go with it, really ... be good Alan!!

Mk2 'blue and whites' are on their way - actually selected good 'new old stock' / used Airfix as the default Mk2 coaches - look great.

I've bought a few Motorail coaches to tag on the end as well - Lima twin deck and Oxford Rail mono-deck.

Got to open and see that Class 66 - looks fantastic. Heavy but surprised it's relatively light for a big Bachmann diesel - only 530 g - others weigh closer to 600 g from them.

Looks like it may need the Class 57 I purchased as a banker!!

D421 not arrived yet - can't wait. Seller says grilles are perfect and has never 'messed' with the adjustable ones - might lubricate before I meddle with it and then there's the fan .... 

A bit too complex I think, but nice 'gimmicks' nevertheless.
