playmofire, that one is simple yet fantastic.  Very impressive.  Concerning the highest tower, what sets do those roof pieces come in?  I think the only one I've ever seen it in is an old houses set.

That's very cool.  Are those roof pieces still available through direct service?

I'm assuming they made the roof by just using 4 of these ^

Wow. :o

I am really enjoying this topic! :D

The inventiveness and sheer quantity of castle pieces some of these collectors own is simply overwhelming.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed pics so far. Please keep them coming! :-*

Hello, Simon ...

Are you sure that these are the same parts?

Hi Richard,

I haven't got Eagle Rock myself, but I managed to find an old fort wall+ clip (Always trying to get rid of those as fast as possible ::) ).

Here are the two resulting pictures with the zoo part.

The connector is NOT exactly the same color as the wall, but the difference isn't striking, either.

AND: The clip fits perfectly leaving no space for wall wobbling. With two clips you should get a very stable connection.

I think the 2 parts come from the same mould, but you would have to ask someone who has got both sets to compare. The number on my zoo part reads (mould number imprinted in plastic: 3197010 3 followed by the letter A in a circle). Maybe an Eagle Rock owner could compare with his part.

Question 1: Yes, they are, but quite expensive (Almost 4 Euros for one corner section) of which.....

Question 2: (Yes,)...you would need 4 - to get the roof in the "beach castle" picture.
