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!

Aim to finish the best (A4) first and then the Stanier pacifics - only 38 of them - 3 distinct groups

Latest purchase has been white boxes. For some time I have been packing and barcoding spares from my piles of old spare parts.

My stock of spare parts are slowly being sorted into white storage boxes, barcoded and put onto pc. At the moment the S series parts are taking priority.
