I seem to recall a post on Lugnet that had bricks which went in offset increments of 1/16th sized steps, but I can't find the link on lugnet. Does anyone have information and pictures of such offset step building sizes? Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde (21 years ago, 13-May-05, to lugnet.build)

For my town I took the arches from the SAH site. Imagine looking at the baseplate. I placed two going north, one going east and west on the front and then depending on where they are in the tunnel I may have a total of 8 arches two in each (...)

We're thinking about raising up half of our town, so that we can have the train run into a tunnel and be a subway train on the elevated half and a surface train on the other half (with the two halves joined by a hill).
