The Penguin Of Doom

Hi all.
I've spent a happy few hours at our club this evening starting work on some JLTRT Buckeyes which will hopefully end up joining a rake of Mk1s.
I've got a horrible feeling that I have got something wrong though as the knuckle of the coupling does not seem to sit snugly or tightly with the adjacent coupling. In addition, it looks like when the loco hauling the stock takes up the slack, the couplings will open out leaving a larger gap between the coaches? I will hopefully attach some pictures below to illustrate what I mean and I am hoping that someone will have used these before and be able to point me in the right direction.
Whilst construction is a little fiddly (it took me two hours to complete the first one!), they are very intricate and seem to reflect the real things well.
Cheers.
Sean.
