Hi,Lar,
the wagon is in effect sturdier than it seems,because ,due to the large
surfaces of contact,there's a lot of friction between 6wide sections (red
ones,in my sketch) and 5.6wide ones (blue ones),so when you put the two sides
in their place,they won't move easily...
Ok,I admit that I didn't think to this,it was just luck!! ;-))
Ciao
Gianluca
