Very interesting questions...
Fabuland has 2 different styles of staircases that I know of. A
straight 5 step with an open rail on the right side and nothing on the left
side.( no studs on steps) Fabuland also has a spiral staircase. As I
have only seen pictures of the spiral, I have no first hand details. I don'
even know the number of steps.
The straight came in red (ex.Town Hall #140) & yellow (ex.Hospital#137).
The spiral came in yellow (ex. Double Decker bus #3662) & probably red too,
but I can't find an example right now.
