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!

Correct Rob. I said 44 shillings, because I was posting a total that Jimbopuff spent overall on his day out. So the cup of tea costed 44 shillings, as you just mentioned and the catalogue costed 4 shillings so Jimbopuff spent 44 shillings. An expensive day out!

I purchased this Hornby RailRoad BR Class 08 08513 Diesel Shunter Locomotive, spilit from Hornby RailRoad R2669 BR Diesel Freight Train Pack, bought from Shpock, at a bargain price of only 240 shillings (Providing my maths is correct, which I hope it is! ), plus a few more for postage. It runs very well and

Continuation of previous post with the Class 08 locomotive:
...I got ot cheaper than what they sell for on eBay.
Another purchase is from my local model shop, is X2 PECO Lineside Kit OO/HO LK-24 Packing Cases. I can't remember how much these cost, but they were not very much each.

I spent a bit more than that, Gordon. Never could come away with a full wallet. A couple of locos - details later.

@Darrenmb Good picture. Your R752 Battle Space Turbo Car is listed on Page21 of Edition 15 of the Triang Hornby Minic catalogue. Not priced, unfortunately, so no fun with calculations of Old Money. Hornby seem to have been very imaginative with their products in those days.
