Hi,

Some comments on the roof discussion:

I have one single grey rounded roof piece in 4 wide and grey ;-((( One DX-car
might need 11 of them on each side!! That will be 66 for my train with 3 cars.
No way to get so many of that hard to find piece!

I would go with Chris's idea and if I were LEGO Bulk Director, I would sell the
6005 Arch  1 x  3 x  2 with Curved Top (http://img.lugnet.com/ld/6005.gif) in
grey. This piece might have the right hight! But I never saw it in grey! Does
it exists??

Normal grey 45° roof pieces (like I used them at the ends of the roof) are a
real alternative. But again - I don't have so much grey roof pieces ;-((

Greetings,

Holger (HoMa)

(...) John, I'll nit your nit. I think that the curved bricks are too sharply curved to model the curve on the top of the cars in the pictures that HoMa posted. I think the multi plate roof is a very nice work around for some hard to get pieces (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
