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!

Working for me too. That looks like it was the page transition problem that was happening previously.

I'm never really sure if by 'latest acquisition' it means solely Hornby, or if other manufacturers can be mentioned.

David,

It can be any product you like from any brand, doesn't even need to be a railway related product, but it would be preferred that it had at least some tentative connection to the hobby. if you look back through the historical pages you will see things like tools as well as rolling stock and scenic accessories. But I would draw the line at things like TV's and 'Three Piece Suites' etc. Basically anything 'modelling related' that you have just purchased.

Caveat to this.

If posting about products from other brands for which there is a competing Hornby product, just be mindful of the 'no active promotion' rule.

Well, in that case, since the class in question has dropped out of the Hornby catalogue this year, I feel semi-safe in mentioning I bought a Thompson B1 off of Ebay; it's a Replica Railways model of the class leader Springbok in LNER apple green with her 1946 number #1000. It might need a bit of work to get it running, but I know some folks- I would kinda like to get another B1 though, also in LNER condition.
