With all that done the powered car should be an easy win to finish!

Those famous last words from yesterdays post - With all that done the powered car should be an easy win to finish!

After the satisfaction of getting much of the unpowered car together I turned my attention to the Easy Win. It took a few seconds of looking at the parts and holding them together to realise I had done everything back to front! The coupling I added is on the bogie that goes to the front of the car where no coupling should be! The motor bogie should have had a substantial amount of the old coupling left in place to attach the new one t. Instead I cut the lot off! And finally, the buffer beam detail is at the wrong end! Brilliant, Woody! The WMD swear jar is now a bit better off but my level of satisfaction is not!

I these instances it is sometimes best to walk away and cool off before trying to rectify things which is just what I have done. It can all be fixed but will take a bit of time so no easy win finish - just yet!
