Don’t forget to put the boot on before crimping. Obviously I never made such a mistake nor did I flair the brake pipes with out the union fitted.

Or have to split the shroud on an SWA gland, slip it on, tape the joint with black tape so you can't see it then turn it round so it faces the wall, not that I've ever done it

Any use to you?

Having decided that 57 hobbies just isn't enough, I have embarked on building a rail layout.....
Well, I actually saw this Police Class 37 got released by Hornby and I wanted it (oldies will remember the advert for BR it was used in).
As I don't currently have a railway, I also bought a load of track and various other stuff!
Just got to get the garage conversion done so I can play with it

I've been there so many times...even when I've got the bit on I've usually done it backwards.

When in my teens, I got sacked for similar. Was changing a 2 way switch, one of the old round china ones & the wires were 3 blacks, no colours & I got it wrong twice. The guy I worked for sacked me on the spot, leaving me to walk back about 7 miles home. Sod drove past me as well, used to see him occasionally & he wouldn’t speak to me, totally ignored me. All part of life I suppose, I worked for some horrible sods when young.
