Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

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!

That's a strange name for a Wolf ...

 

Oh, sorry .... 

 

Wasn't she ever something related to Wales, as Charles was Prince of .. ?

263 now with a crew of a driver and fireman,(I painted up and reshaped two Hornby black plastic figures) so now ready to hit the track. Ohh and now fitted back on the 'sand pipe' I didn't notice had come off. My bad when fitting the decoder.

That looks great, and so much better with a crew on board!

I've been selling quite a few 'non-preserved' locomotives ... permitting me to purchase some others which I want, or are preserved.

 

I had been hunting a Dapol TPE Class 68 for 3 months - finally got one.

 

I've now just received 70013 Oliver Cromwell (rode on 'her' footplate at Bressingham 45 years ago!) and a couple of others ...

Seems like I'm 'collecting' Britannias - 3 now. I now have 'the main 2' - those preserved so it stops there ...

Some people will do anything  to get their count up.

17 pages @10 posts per page equals overkill LC. OK you need some track, you should have enough by now to run from Kings X to Ednabru.
