Gee, when you said Studs Not On Top I thought your were refering to a building style; using bricks in a way that their studs are not on top where they should be. For example mounting bricks sideways so the studs are hidden or point out instead of (...) (25 years ago, 26-Feb-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
