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!

Very happy with this one! At first glance it looks like any other boxed Polly which is good anyway. Has good lining and I have some replacement name plates for it but there is something that makes this one a little but more special. BTW an excellent runner as well.
I think at this time they came with some yellow foam wrapping in the box. I have some somewhere that I got for Playcraft locos.
For Ruffnut Thorston, the box has the letters D. D. On the flaps.
