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!

If it is being advertised as new then the accessories pack should be present and the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (replacing the Sale of Goods Act) should apply in respect of defects /missing parts etc. There is an expectation for the vendor to honor this if it was advertised as new then they are essentially acting as a trader.
When I've sold what are effectively new items I do not use the 'new' descriptor instead stating 'unused'. That way the liabilities under the Consumer Rights Act do not apply.
Accessory pack for these do come up on ebay from time to time.....
Thanks to BB and Colin.
Beautiful locomotive - had an old synchrosmoke one way back when ...
I've got brass draincocks, steps and brake rods coming. Cost is minimal.
Adding to this, I'm negotiating an agreed part refund, so all appears OK - incomplete as I write ...
Seems like I'm not the only one mentioning the same thing - not 'new' as details missing ... moving on.
I've fitted vacuum pipes - from an A4 pack I had actually - and removed the hook and replaced with links.
Now I've painted etched brass discs, and placed them in the 'Churchill V' and also added front lamps - all are held with 'black tack' so I can remove with minimal / no damage.
Missing lamp bracket - RHS - is as received - I can live with that - possibly.
