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!

26 years ago, my 40th birthday present was to spend a week Driving and Firing this loco, so was very pleased to be able to have this beauty on my layout to remember that great week. Well done Hornby, it could not have been an easy livery to do but you have done a great job of it and Ive been able to put a DCC chip in her and she looks and runs flawlessly
