Something I have noted with recent roof bricks is that the texture on certain elements has become less and less. The 2x2 external and internal corner bricks I have had in recent sets and via pick a brick have been almost completely smooth. Pushing (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Also, keep in mind that the slopes that came with the McDonald's Happy Meal sets a few years back were NOT textured. They had printed images on the sloped part, but if I remember correctly, that slope was smooth. eric harshbarger (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

(...) Do you mean part 3939? [LDrawPart 3939:46] Going by the data collected on Peeron, this part first appeared in 1978. For the next ~13 years, the part only appeared in transparent colors. So I'd guess it was intended as a windshield/canopy, (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts, FTX)

(...) What about the 3x6 slopes? Okay, I know they are a little different but they don't have that "texture" you are speaking of. (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

(...) OK, I would love to give some special reason, but I know of none. Ever since the sloped bricks first came out in red (1958) and blue (1960), they have had the textured finish. The simplest explanation I can think of is because most roofs are (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

Its one of the most trivial things, but its always bothered me. Why have that texture on the slope end? What purpose does it serve? From the small selection of un-textured slopes we have, one can only infer that these would be less trouble to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

A Motorised 2 axel truck with 3 stud wheel spacing. This is a custom modified 9v train motor. (URL) I've been toying with this idea for a while.
