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!

It's upside down for me to. That's why I said it must be hard to keep on the track.

So it's doubly upside down for you, fazey? Doesn't that make it the right way up?

If you put the emphasis on the word, to and not me as it should be then yes. But it's still upside down

[quote]Well there you go then. Not upside down on here.[/quote] Upside down here. But if I open it in a new tab it's up the right way ... so you can have it both ways :-)
