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!

R2687 has arrived!!
WOW - I knew this was the one - looks just as I remember when I was growing up - fantastic!!
Photos are weird - those front steps are actually straight - not skew as it appears for some reason!

@walkingthedog
Have you really bought that tractor lawnmower? It looks rather large for 1:76 scale!
