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!

Was your iPad perhaps upside down when you took the pic, WTD?

Not one of mine and right way up on my iPad. Very hard to have an iPad picture wrong way up unless you lock the screen. Graskie, everything will be fine if you stop standing on your head. Admin, a little later I'll try looking on my laptop and report back.

And thanks for all the fish …

[quote] Hi WTD, The image is upside down for me also and was when I approved it to actually appear. Is the image the correct way up when viewing on your iPad? If so, I can look into it and see if this is an error or bug of some kind when submitting images via other devices. [/quote] It's the right way up for me Admin On my iPad.

By the way, the Vulcan isn't my latest acquisition, can't quite afford it. Is the picture upside down?

The latest teak coaches offered only on the website and concessions. Bought the BR variant since Hornby aren't apparently rushing to reissue the LNER versions. Excellent as were the previous teaks. But I fail to understand why Hornby do not include these and others in general sales or, for that matter, continue to offer coaches and wagons of the big four in the catalogue for some years so that newcomers can have their LNER/SR/LMS/GWR rake without a problem and allow others to add stock to their layout.

Just had a notification that "something" is on its way! I have five Hornby items on pre-order, but have no idea what's coming - I do like surprises!

If you dream it, you can do it.
