The Stone Tower Bridge is Fabulous!  I have the better parts on 3 on them put
together on a shelf, some of the very little lego I have displayed anywhere at
the moment..  I have it set up with 3 center sections and 2 of the towers with
the revolving doors, one at each end, looks pretty cool.  Sometime I'll have to
add the other center sections that I got (think I have 2 more STB lurking
around here somewhere).  The 3 center sections give it a length and scale that
just one cannot do....
