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!

My latest two to enter the 'shed'.
little and large, I am looking for a small face off the Thomas range to stick on the front of the 48 DS shunter.I will use 'buddy stick'.It will look quite cute pulling the Christmas wagons for the little ones this Christmas.
Another face on the Flying Scotsman would make 'Jock' a very smart proud engine on the Sodor layout.
Only joking that one is destined for the 'cool wall'.

Got me one of these at Great Eastern Digital Day - at a nice discount for being a ‘helper’.
Now to build something to hang it on.

Friendly Fryer it says Spring 2020 on this web site. Probably a long time before the other two.

Some more of my recent buys, R6933 & R6934, both Coco-Cola wagons.They go with my Christmas Cooc-Cola set. Strange, bought those from a model shop, and they are for sale on Ebay, but not for sale on Hornby site.They are not shown as new arrivals, but as coming soon.
