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!

Well, my B2 Peckett 'The Earl' has arrived!
Beautiful little locomotive, but typical of Hornby, just don't like the paint finish - might grow on me, but can't touch that of the Rapido Hunslet.
Loco itself is a little gem, runs perfectly as it should, and should have fun on the rails together with the Hunslet hauling coal wagons!

I picked this up at almost half-price from The Loco Shop in Fleet. I don't think it was ever available with lights? Do you think it should have them?
