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!

I've been trying to expand my fleet of East Anglian steam era locos for a while, but I have been looking for something a bit more unusual, so I occasionally searched online for some kit-built models that aren't available ready to run. It turns out they are just like buses - you wait ages then several come along all at once. Kit-built models can be very expensive, especially for rarer classes that are not available ready to run, but these all came in at well under £100 each. First up, a Bec J17 0-6-0 tender loco. It had a poor triang jinty chassis, so I am in the process of replacing it with a newer Railroad Jinty chassis plus fitting pick-ups to the tender.
