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!

R4716 BR Mk1 Corridor Brake 2nd – M34672 (With lights) - I've been after this for a while. I bought R4714 and R4715 sometime ago. Someone told me that Olivia's Trains had one in stock - which they did - so purchase made. I will now have a rake of three.

If you dream it, you can do it.

Hi BB

Well done

Hi PP

All three were on ebay in separate auctions. Two of the three nobody bid on, and I couldn't be bothered to get into a bidding war with the third one. So got the two, but later realised the third one was now difficult to get hold of. Luckily someone searched a bit harder than I had done, and found the missing one. BB

Just added to my 'BR Rail Blue' collection.

Very nice Bachmann class 47.

Brings back memories of my commute between Liverpool Lime St and Manchester Victoria when occasionally I'd catch a Trans-Pennine instead of those pesky, noisy, rattly railbuses!

Couple of photos are pending authorisation since yesterday morning.

OK, one for collectors. Just bought Stephensons Rocket, Limited edition, factory plated wheel tyres, with smoke, and 3 coaches. Not got it yet. Its marked X413. Anyone know owt about it. There is one on ebay, for £480, but came by mine in france from private owner, for just over a third of that. Guy was selling off collection. All boxed as new, crew in un opened bag.
