Model Railway - What's your latest acquisition?

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!

This was purchased a couple of years ago, but through the physical dimensions limiting access to the living room, and viewing of the TV, it ended up in the garage.

 

Circumstances having changed, entire family on top of each other, and moderately reasonable weather for a week, the time had come to remove it from the garage and assemble ... amazingly I haven't even had to change the batteries in the 2 locomotives - yet!

Not a problem, that's one thing I have quite a lot of!!

Fantastic sketch Friendly Flyer - very talented.

I've just taken delivery of an n gauge Kato Alpine Express - held up in Customs for an eternity!!  It's going to form the basis of this year's Christmas tree layout - taking a break from the Hornby Santa Express layout for a change.
