Coupled and ready to go

P1080786 P1080787

I have now completed the electrical and mechanical links between loco and wagon.  The couplings are simple chain links and the electrical connector is of the futaba type and is relatively unobtrusive.

My wife says that the wagon looks like it’s got a bomb in it!  This will be covered by a tarpaulin.

The only other bits that are necessary to complete before the show are to attach the nuts on the end of the big end with retaining compound as they keep working loose and to add some brasso to the slidebars to ensure they run nicely.
