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!

Well there in the post, but two emails tell me that Pull/Push Coach Packs R4534A and R4534B are on there way.

If you dream it, you can do it.

The crew apparently drive the loco, of course, PP. If it doesn't clank, I'll just have to make that sound myself.

Thanks for all the best wishes. I'm fine now (for the moment.....)

A second R3180 arrived from Liverpool today. The first was bought locally. This too is destined to become APCM and not Tarmac, because the APCM Kent Works at Stone Crossing purchased three of them in 1961 and that is where I first regularly saw them.

After absolute ages my Southern Push Pull set has arrived. It is Set 616. I hope the 2Hal doesn't takes as long.
