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!

Among other Dublo items I was given 10 sets of points. Lots of fun cleaning them all up !

I found only 2 sets that worked and modern 0-6-0 tanks negotiate them quite smoothly. The others must have had a VERY hard life as some parts of the rails were actually broken off.

Some of these for breadboarding. I have been trying to get various relay modules to work with R8247 PAD and solenoid motors and connecting all the bits together was becoming a struggle.

Hopefully every combination I shall ever need.
