The one above the dam could be spoken for, version 2 of my dam, has been
designed to the proper module specs, (no more 97 stud lengths), as part of
the dam design I was going to build two half modules that would be placed on
either side of the dam to support it, see
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=307719
for a Lego example.

If the fire station is some distance from Altenburg, it might fit in ok, in
that the perspective between the two areas may seem normal.

(...) We've got to be a little careful with scale. The American LTCs often have this incredibly overscaled buildings which dominate the layout--like a four module gas station or a six module church.
