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!

Don’t think I’ve seen any of your photos as sharp as the Jj. 
I have one of those locos. Seriously thinking of getting another.

Photos after detailing fitted, 'on show' for now.
I've greased and oiled her, and she's been running around a 4th radius 'circle' 'both ways both ways' if you know what I mean ....

Just received my 20 (led) street lights from China at last for the princely sum of £6.99 including postage.
And fine lights they are too. The base part has been slid up the post to the top for packing.
Size looks OK for hO or OO. I have to privde my own resistors though if I am to use them on a 12v bus.

Just got a couple.of battle space pieces.. I do have a question about the loco... it has synchro smoke, but it looks I have to take body off to add the oil, no big dea, as it's just one screw, but maybe I'm missing something..
