Hello! (...) Sorry Garry, I didn't mean to steal your thunder :-) #375, though, didn't come with closed roomes. The towers are open at two sides, as well as the towers in #6080 and #6085 are open at one side and so on. (I'm a bit embarrassed that (...) (22 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

Hi!
