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!

Hi LC&DR

Carry on like this and you will have to extend your home. A good excuse

to extend the layout. I wish.

I'm awaiting a B*chmann late BR crest WD with sound, smoke, working lamps, flickering firebox and crew. That cost a few gold bars but it's to celebrate coming out of hospital after surviving a touch of heart failure on Friday night/Saturday morning.

I echo the others Graskie - take things easy.
If you dream it, you can do it.

I like the sound of the WD - what do the crew do? I hope the valve gear clanks in true WD style when the sound is switched on!!
