    Staircases! —Lindsay Frederick Braun
    Hi, all- I seem to have "discovered" a piece from my Dark Ages--one that appeared after I submerged and vanished before I surfaced. I knew a variant of it existed in many Belville and Paradisa sets, and appeared in at least one System set (6497 (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
   
        Re: Staircases! —Sybrand Bonsma
     (...) I only know these two variants, the right-curved and the straight one. (Although two other variants types of large ladders/staircases appeared also in Fabuland sets: In the old sets their was a 7-step staircase with one railing, for example in (...)

     (...) You're right, they only have 5 steps. Now I'm thinking about it, it is rather strange as they are very large steps. (...) I don't know exactly how the Belville staircases are, I've only seen them on pictures. I will look up the number of steps (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

Don't forget the stair piece used in the wild west bandits hideout among other sets, which does not have a railing. Als there are also 3 kinds of (...)

         Re: Staircases! —Jeff Johnston
      (...) More than that! I have a yellow 2 piece extending ladder from before my Dark Ages, and the single piece ladders come in variations that have clips at one end or at both ends.

          Re: Staircases! —Frank Filz
       (...) And as far as I can tell, it looks like the current extendible ladder appeared in Fabuland, and had a 2nd base part (look at 3638). Also check out the ladder in 3637. A lot of Fabuland pieces seem to be showing up again, especially in Belville (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)

       (...) I forgot about the clip ladders. The single piece ladder I was refering to is the ladder used in brown as a scaling ladder in some castle siege tower set. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
    
         Re: Staircases! —Wayne R. Hussey
     (...) There are seven ladders (at least - maybe more I don't know about) if you count the ones you've listed. The single piece you list is (I believe) the modern stack-as-many-as-you-want slip-joint variety. There are also a two- piece and a (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.general)
