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!

Passengers struggle to get on and off the trains as they only paws at stations.

Sorry

They usually go for small layouts as they love tail chasers. Of course the dogbone track plan is the favourite.

I don't mean to put a spaniel in the works but this seems to have tailed off so I think it's time for a paws.

I think cooped should be cooped up.

Perhaps it was being cooped up for too long that drove me to it? Uh oh, cue the chicken jokes, oh no that's on another thread right now!

That thread's not at all what it's cracked up to be, though.

This one's getting a little scrambled.
