I am looking for low-sloped roof bricks like the ones used in certain sets circa 1986 as found in the following sets: 6689 Post Office (Todd's search results bring back Post-Station but the set has the black 3x3x1 low slope corner roof brick which appears four times in this set.) This was also released, it seems in yellow and red in the following two train sets: 7740 12V Inter City Express 7725 12V Passenger Train I am looking for any people who have these sets complete, and available for trade or sale. I've also posted this to lugnet.lego.direct so that Mr. Justus and Co. will receive a heads up on some extremely useful and unfortunately rare roof elements that they might wish to produce in large quantities and in various colors. I'm also looking for any other sets that happened to have this brick included in them as I don't recall seeing it used in any other LEGO sets since 1986. This is unfortunate, for if true, it means I've got to look for rare, hard-to-find sets. :-( If anyone has any info as to availability of this piece in any color in any set not listed here, I would appreciate the info!! I'll monitor the newsgroups but I'd also appreciate it if you could send an email to ghyde@ledanet.com.au with a copy of your post in it. Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde

<set:6497> Twisted Time Train has two of these in Black. They are in the front of the train, as a sort of a cow catcher. -Andy Lynch ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geoffrey Hyde" <ghyde@ledanet.com.au> <snip> (...) set (...) in (...) <snip> (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

(...) Geoffrey, Yes, these are among the most highly prized roof slopes. Take for example the yellow corner slopes - they are among the rarest of all slopes. The low slope is found only in the 7740 Intercity Train, the medium slope is found only in (...)
