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!

Bonsoir à toutes et tous.
J'ai découvert les modèles HORNBY il y a 1 an et je viens de rejoindre ce forum.
Je possède 5 locomotives et quelques wagons et voitures.
Je vais donc vous les présenter.
Voici la première locomotive:
En fait, j'avais commandé celle-ci:
Mais ils se sont trompés de n° de référence.
Je pouvais renvoyer la mauvaise locomotive à leurs frais, mais je l'ai trouvée très belle, alors je l'ai gardée.
Je vous présenterai le reste plus tard.
Bonne soirée et bon week-end.

The 12:21 from Liverpool to Manchester. On Time. Seen thundering past Rainhill Church just prior to Skew Bidge.
Hornby have now added the third class open carriage which I have already pre-ordered and will be joining the line a.s.a.p.
