This MOC is a departure for me in a couple of ways.  Normally, I build

having it sit on the new GMLTC layout which is currently under
construction.

Also, I am normally pouring over schematics and photos of trains when I
build, in order to create the most real-to-life MOC I can.  This
chateau, however, came completely out of my head.  I literally just made
it up as I went along:-)

In order to build this thing, I utilized LEGO Direct bulk services, AFOL
parts sellers (thanks, Julie K:), and my own multiple set bursting.  I
couldn't have done it alone.

Sorry the pics are rather big and fuzzy-- but here it is-- enjoy!

Where did you get so many 2x2x3 slopes for the roof?!  I could do half of
one side in a plethora of colors.  I'd kill for that many slope pieces.

(...) Well, got about 100 from Brickbayers, and the rest from 50 copies of the Oasis Ambush ( (URL) ) Don't have to kill to get them-- well, maybe your *bank* account;-) -John (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Seems like you killed, indeed - you killed lugnet!!!! j/k... this is probably the search thing gone wrong again. Anyway, whenever you see this, I'd betcha John got the slopes from <set:5938 Oasis Ambush>. It has a bunch of them for $8 or less! (...)
