(...) Thanks, John! Being a sharp-eyed building connoisseur, you not doubt surmised that the "secret" to the roof is attaching all of the 2x2 tiles using only their center tube. The 1x6s are attached using perpendicular half studs. JOHN (15 years ago, 5-Dec-09, to lugnet.trains.org.tcltc, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) In-home, floor level use is probably fine, but if you ever run that on a layout you better hope that it doesn't take a spill, or the silver paint is likely to get uglified.
