You spend hours building a box car and then at the end you say: Great, I got a wagon, but I don't want to go through all that again just to get another one. <br /> <br />Then I started building <i>production line style</i>. When you cut a piece of wood for your boxcar, don't just cut one, cut two or three (or more) at the same time. It only takes a few seconds more since most of the time is spent getting the tools out and working out HOW you are going to do it, not the actual job itself. <br />Then when you start assembling them do the same, repeat the same step on the other wagons at the same time. <br /> <br />When you finally finish you will have two or three or more boxcars to show for you efforts, but it will have taken only a fraction longer (and certianly not twice as long) to build them. <br /> <br />Now I always make 2 or more copies when I am building wagons. <br /> <br />Glen.
