Your right.  I don't have that set, so I hadn't seen it there.  I stopped
buying (juniorized) town unless it's unavoidable :-)

That's exactly right!  Or, um, at least close.  BTW, these 'pictures' were
taken by putting the pieces on my scanner!  Works rather nicely.  Though I
don't think it would work as well with a model that had more than a couple of
bricks depth to it!

I wasn't sure about that one, I forgot about it being in the Slammer sets.  I
like it, though.  Odd that it's odd.  Length-wise, that is.  Is this, at 15
studs, the longest odd-length LEGO element made?
