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!

A bus !! Corgi 1:76 Crossley Lancaster City Transport with the route to Scotforth - where I was brought up and attended Scotforth primary school.

So - just a reminder of the past really.

Ordered on-line Monday a.m. - delivered Tuesday so

no issues there.

Looks a good model but also seems expensive at £34.99. It will fit nicely on the layout alongside 3 Ribble buses I got many years ago.

Otherwise - just 4 metres of track, a point motor and 2 buffer stops from my local shop

- for a pair of carriage sidings I want to add - I alreay have the spare points.

;last loco was July 2013 - a rival Midland Compund in Lined BR black. They finished in 1962 I think so a bit early for my late steam/early diesel layout - but a bit of

modellers licence applied as its a good looking engine and I did not have a 4-4-0.

Unemployed at the moment so I have a selfd imposed total ban on buying locos.

A rolling road, plus a midland compound in LMS black and L & YR 2-4-2 in LMS black. Exquisite!

My recent purchases are:

1x Hornby SkaleScenics set of 3 deciduous trees
1x Hornby SkaleScenics set of 3 sycamore trees
1x Hornby express points

Ordered yesterday, arrived today. The trees are excellent, I have seen other makes and

these are first class, they really look the part.

I got 10% off my Hornby order as a member and free delivery. I also received a free gift, a Free Diamond Jubilee, Beefeater key ring (Corgi)and a £5 voucher to use on my next order any time in 2014.

I

also got some die cast models from Dart castings, these have been painted with Humbrol, matt, enamel paint and will be added to my layout very soon.

I have just tested my new Class 4MT late BR green lined B*mann 75001 with DCC sound, working front lamp and firebox flicker. Just need to get it on RM now and then hopefully test it as a double-header with my double chimney BR1B tender version of that

class, also with the same functions. Should look and sound good.
