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!

Some lovely cast white metal vacuum pipes, coupling hooks and etched instanter couplings to detail my rake of over 90 Bachmann china clay wagons. I am going to be a busy boy sunglasses

Just arrived from America, R801 Old Time Coach, Green Pullman Livery, running number 257. Production run of 5000 units in 1967. All coaches were sent to North America, hence were not sold in the UK.Comes in as new, unrun condition, in correct ATT box. Seldom seen for sale in UK, a very rare item. I now have all 5 versions of the Old Time Coach.

One of the advantages of being a member of the Hornby Collector Club - cost less than £100 - the same thing elsewhere £260.00

I've thought about getting one of those and having a crack at air brushing, but the hobby is already costing a fortune.
