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!

As I mentioned elsewhere yesterday I bought one of the Railroad Bagnall diesel shunters, a very good little model for the price. Not too sure if has a full sized prototype but it does look the part. (A successor to the Dock Shunter perhaps?)

I also treated myself to another SEC 'C' late crest version, which I am currently re-numbering. This has to be my all time favourite class of locomotive.

6 Humbrol Aerosols approximately £41 including p&p! These will hopefully allow me to weather some of my kit built wagons which have been packed in the loft for the past 20 years! Funny I remember being able to buy 8 of them for the same price as the paint is now!

Three blue S&D four wheeled coaches and one GWR version. I think the S&D ones had been stored in a damp place because the metal tyres had taken on a froste appearence and one of the couplings was rather rusty (Hence the GWR one to donate a new Chassis). However all the bodies were in a good condition and I have some spare silver seal wheels.

This now makes up the loco and coaches from the Rural Rambler set I remember wanting in 1976 - only a 38 year waIt!

I should also add the ebayer didn't really know what they were since he described them as being from a Caledonian set but they had metal couplings and silver seal wheel so I though this unlikely.
