To make up
Sew ‘back of cab’ to ‘base’, then following this shape sew ‘top of cab’ from ‘base’ to ‘base’ and then to the ‘back of cab’.
Sew ‘front of cab’ to centre of the ‘top of cab’ section.
(This is very wordy, if its too confusing, take a look at the piccis!)
Sew ‘front of engine’ onto ‘base’ at right angle.
Sew ‘top of engine’ from ‘base’, following shape of ‘front of engine’, back to the ‘base’. Sew ‘top of engine’ to ‘front of engine’.
The ‘Top of Cab’ and ‘Top of Engine’ should touch, stuff, then sew together where they meet.
Sew ‘Funnel’ in place
Sew ‘Wheels’ in place
Sew ‘Coupler’ in place
Weave in loose ends and make ‘choo choo’ noises. This last instruction is obligatory.
