Thanks for doing the research Pingo, I think you're correct about the smaller roof piece.

You might be right about the bigger roof section Indianna. I'm keeping my eyes out for this one, though. It makes a nice train shed. Plus, I really enjoy finding a new Steck part that I didn't know existed :-)

. . . I use the wafer houses on my train layout wherever I have a row of building against the wall. It does save space and hides the wall at the same time. . .

That is a great point - I was too quick to call this method of building "freaky" - I actually kind of like the way they look.  Plus, with this method one can construct more buildings with fewer sets since the side walls become available for use as extra floors or in other buildings.

Yes, it's a great technique for making your parts go farther. This is something that scale train modelers do when they are working in a confined space.

It's also possible to strategically place mirrors behind the buildings (up against the wall) to create a false sense of depth. It's great for attic layouts. I'm currently building one in a similar space. I'll take some pics when I get closer to finishing.

There sure was some great possibilities with Stecks . I would like to know what the guy on the roof is up to . If he is a chimney sweep he seems to have lost his chimney  :hmm:

Thanks for the pictures  :wow:
