| Thanks Rob, I can add that to part 2, which will include the low sloped bricks. And then those service packs with the low sloped outside corner in red. There are a lot of interesting variations, that's for sure. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

| Yes there were a lot of different colors available in the 1970's sets that I hadn't gotten around to yet. I kind of wanted to stay with the story up to 1972, but I got side tracked on the black slopes. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

| | Re: wanted: 1x1x2 and 1x2x2 blue windows
|
| Hey Christopher, If you mean Classic Lego windows in blue, then I don't think the 1x1x2 exists in blue. (Unless they made another train set with them, cuz they made a 1x3x2 blue window in one of the train sets.) As far as I know, the 1x1x2 window (...)

| Jacob, I have never heard of green Lego slopes with a "wiggly" slope before. Are they LEGO? Do they have the word LEGO on top of the studs? If not, then that should answer your question. Rob, have you ever heard of these? Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

| | The History Of LEGO Sloped Bricks - Part 1
|
| Today's topic is Regular LEGO Sloped Bricks from 1958-1972. LEGO sloped bricks today are available in many different angled slopes. The earliest of these (and by far the most common today) are the regular 45 degree slopes. These came out in the late (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

| Yes, those are the 1x6x5 large windows. These are pretty scarce, since they are available in so few sets. They can also be found in an old Dacta Hospital set (there they are black), and in the old Schoolroom Homemaker set (there they are yellow). A (...) (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.build)

| | Re: The History Of LEGO Sloped Bricks - Part 1
|
| Jeff, you asked a very good question. Texture was an interesting part of these sloped pieces. The 1958-72 parts packs basically had the same texture. Not until the mid-1970's did the texture on some of the LEGO bricks start to vary. My train station (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

The sculptural quality of LEGO shows off very nicely here. Great Job! Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 16-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
