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!

I haven't a clue how it occured. It seemed to continue to happen even after I logged off and logged on again. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Your superior knowledge on many subjects far outweighs your occassional computing error. I would blame it on the forum mechanics, but likely to be a sticky keyboard.

I don't think the keyboard was the culprit because after that posting I immediately clicked away to another program and then clicked back when I had finished. So my keyboard was being used to manipulate the other program, if I remember rightly it was to interrogate the BBC website.

It can depend on the speed of your connection.

I have noticed a post can take more than a few seconds at times - and I'm supposed to have 'the fastest Virgin's finest can supply' - but that's with wife, 2 sons, and myself simultaneously using it .... shouldn't hamper it that much.

What I have noticed, is it's possible to THINK you haven't posted, when posting is 'in progress', and clicking on Reply again, can in fact register the same post twice, or even more.

I'll - deliberately - try that now.

Your four deliberate test duplicates removed to keep some semblance of tidiness in this thread.

Thanks Chris.

Test - unfortunately - worked.

So this is probably what has been happening with 'LC&DR'.

I doubt it!

I only clicked once!

And then clicked away to a completely different website. And I certainly would NOT have clicked hundreds of times which is what must have happened under that theory. My keyboard shows no sign of sticking either.

No matter. I have had treatment for repetitive strain injury on my delete post finger, so all is well.
