Building my new railway carriage

Today it was all rainy so I helped Papa build a new carriage for my railway. It was really difficult so I needed to help him a lot.
First I had to sand down all the wood Papa had "found" in a skip in the village.


Papa let me use his power sander, it made my hand shake and lots of dust.
Then I fixed all the couplings and other bits on.


It took all day and we both needed baths afterwards because we got covered in sawdust.
It's nearly finished now.


I tested it in the shed because it didn't stop raining all day. Next week I'll help Papa fit the brakes and then I can drive it on the track in the garden.
