As a side note, as much as I'd love to take credit for the idea, I actually can't; I've noticed this being used in official upcoming LEGO sets, see (URL) the train station> for example. (...)

| Hey Jean-Marc, Aaah, the beauty of simplicity. The rain pipe is a lovely touch, especially when I figured out what parts you used. Tres bien! Dave S. (17 years ago, 14-May-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

The only problem is that there's not a clean way to terminate the design at roof's edge, as (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)

The problem is more at the ends of the roof, where you have to cover up the extra half slopes... which can be made easier (...) (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.town, FTX)
