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!

Hi Will, please let us know if you need any help correcting the orientation of your image. R-

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I read on the forum to take the photo with the phone shutter button on the top.

I'll try edit now.

Thanks.

Phone shutter button should be on the right or bottom normally.

Righyo, thanks.

Mine's on the right when on top.

I rotated in the gallery 180deg to that before originally uploading, and uploaded again.

Still upside down.

It is what it is.

The sensor in your phone or tablet knows which way is up. If you take a photo anyway but up then it will forever post it as that other way up, regardless of how it looks on your screen.

On an iPad and most phones the Home button has to be under your right thumb or at the bottom of screen. Ditto the shutter button in your camera app.

Now when you come to post a picture to the forum the phone-tablet has to be in the same up is up position or again the picture will post downside up or sideyways etc.

Try it.

There seems to be something not quite right with this forum and image orientation from smart phones. I have taken several pictures with my phone vertical, and when I’ve added it to my post it’s orientated correctly. Then when the post is approved, it’s sideways.

If I go through google photos and add the picture to my PC that I took with my phone, I never have any issues. I’ve also never seen this issue on any other forum that I’ve used.

My name is long, so just call me Lee.

Northern Nellie arrived today. Been after a minter for ages. A good buy for £10 plus p&p
