Running in - and poor couplers alignment

Running in this morning.

Plus, the reason why one of the coaches would not couple up. Apologies for poor camera angle.

Roger, it’s set to ‘private’ rather than public.

Roger why is the coach coupling so low?

I wish I knew Brian. Each end is the same. The coupling seems the same amount into the pocket as the others but the angle of it is wrong. I will see tomorrow if it can be pulled out and reseated. Very small and fragile looking though 😳. R-

It looks as though the coupling socket is too low. Is it possible that the end of the bogie with the socket is upside down. I realise the whole bogie can’t be upside.

As Brian says, the socket looks low, but it also appears to be at a downwards angle. May be just needs reseating?
