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!

I know it's no big deal to most, but here in the states I played merry hell getting one so late in the game!!!! Scored it from. Britannia models in Canada... they still have some in stock if anyone is looking.

I think I shall treat this thread as "WHAT HAVE I MANAGED TO SNEAK PAST SWMBO WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT".
So, yesterday "Sir Francis Drake" (R3634) entered stock undetected !

SWMBO might possibly be aware - just waiting to mention it at what is the best tine (for her)

@LC&DR
Your renaming of this topic is very funny! If she asks you where it came from, tell her it fell from the sky!

M-R, let me guess. The powers are SWMBO? Another case of "what have I managed to sneak past SWMBO, without being caught"?!
