Can anyone point me to a picture/set list/description of how the old castles are "supposed" to snap together? I have seen several sets, all with technic pins & holes - like they are supposed to go together. I would like to know if TLG ever actually (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Um, I don't think there's any "official" way to combine castle sets. You just. . .put them together. That is to say, you would assemble your 6085 and 6059 according to the instructions, "open up" the 6085, and use the technic pins to insert (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle)
