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!

Hi Gordon, Have you got the Ltd. Ed. muddy Thomas.Could I ask where you found it? Well done Gordon.
Thank you and sorry for the late reply. 
I have the limited edition muddy version, had it many years. I have the limited edition of 500 pristine Thomas models, with the puffed out / tired face, as the Thomas in the R9260 Thomas & The Great Discovery Train Set has. I believe you have three of them?
I bought it off eBay a few months back, at great cost. It was the only Thomas I needed to complete my Hornby Thomas loco collection, so I may as well had bought it as found it. It’s boxed with very little damage to the box and the locomotice is undamaged too.

I'm just hoping Hornby will produce the 800 as the TPE 802/2 ...
This will run with the 68 + the Mk.5 coaches when they arrive.
