Hi

I have a 404 Universal set from 1976 that is missing a few key parts. I am in
need of a black roof slope (peak?) that is X-shaped.  The following shows the
part:

http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0404-1976/0404-15.html

its the black top left roof part seen in the picture at the right side.  I am
not sure if its T or X shaped but looks to be X.


I don't think that a part like this ever produced. It must be
combination of several parts. I never heard of a "x" roof peak brick,
although it is possible to make one by using 3 bricks instead (two 3049s
and a 3041).

Look at :

and

The specific configuration that you mentioned above (I mean the
brickshelf picture) uses two 3049s, a 3041 and a 3043, and most probably
your set already have these.

Also, blue "t-bars" are needed. These can be seen in:

Those are very old (4.5 Volt and Blue 12 V era) train system rails.
Although they have historical value, they have no use in a 9V system,
which is the current standard, so I think you can easily find some.

Good luck!

No, there is no such thing as an "X" or "T" shaped roof peak (although LEGO did
make an "L" shaped peak back in the 60's, but then only in red or blue slope)..
That picture in paraticular used the following 4 roof peaks:

(1) 2x4 regular peak
(1) 2x2 regular peak
(2) 1x2 peak gable connectors
