I'm no expert on Tyco, but I do have a few pieces (from a red Castle set). And the
only slopes that were in the set were 1x4x3 low slope roof bricks in gray. They

Also the texture of the slope was different. I didn't realize these before (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
