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!

Just got a 'pre-loved' LMS Princess Marie Louise in wartime black. She looks really impressive. The model number is R2051 - does anyone know what year this model was released ? It's one one of the limited edition 'Top Link' series.

Thanks in advance !

A pair of R8077 LH express points to replace a pair of RH points that just did not work in my track plan. Thanks for pointing that out RogB before I soldered droppers to them.

Also some track pins (a garage sized layout uses an awful lot of pins) and a hydraulic buffer stop for my diesel servicIng siding, just to make the value of the order up so I got free postage.

I assume those are your first O gauge locomotives, Brian (walkingthedog)?

No we don’t Jacob.
