Well, it was bound to happen. Last evening we were hit with a very intense and nasty storm that lasted several hours. Talk about sideways rain!

Does anyone have a quick trick for creating loads of flour sacks (or any material) either on a pallet or on the floor of a boxcar? I'm looking to scratch build the loads not purchase them. Also photos of boxcar loads would be helpful.

Thanks,

Henry
