The rule of thumb I use is: If the back of the building is open, it's ok to not have stairs. One simply relies on the Hand Of The Creator to move one around. If I bother to doa 4-walled building, I put in stairs. Unless the buildings are very small, (...) (24 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
