These things make great train roofs--I have a rather large collection of gray ones waiting for me to make train cars to go under them :) They come in Model TEam sets (3 black and 2 red in 5542, I think 2 white, 2 gray, and 6 red in 5561), (...)

(...) If you mean 1x2 arches with plate (looks like <part:6005 this> but smaller) then no way! They are used in many town and paradisa sets, and can be used in very cool ways in castle, and prolly space too. However, if you still want to get rid of (...)

(...) One thing one could do to break up the monotony of the holes a bit would be to put grey Technic pegs into some of the holes. They would then look like the stubs of dead branches. Frank (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

I have a lot of two stud wide arches which I want to be rid of. I don't believe they were ever used in castle sets, or any "serious" sets only in free style boxes and the like. Am I right ???? Michael Pratt (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

Pretty nifty. I like the hour-glass shape of the castle. It has a very "tree-house" effect to it. Like Shiri, I've been trying to find a use for those brown round pieces (wheels) as well. I like the idea of using those as a large tree branch. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
