The trick

Leave the wagons open at the top and give the engine a second box stacked into a tall cube, so the low open trucks read as carriages and the one tall cube reads as the engine.

What you will need

  • 23 square tiles

Step by step

  1. 1. Lay the wagons

    Put four squares flat in a line, touching, for the engine and three wagons.

  2. 2. Fold up open wagons

    Stand up the long side walls and a wall between each square, and leave every top open so you can load them.

  3. 3. Build the engine

    On the front square only, stack a second closed box to make a tall cube. That is the engine.
