I am really shocked by this statement - you are not new to Playmobil so use your imagination or try it out... (although now you have seen it already in the pictures).

 :o

Excuse me?

I have seen various pics, with the steps done in various different ways, and I wasn't sure which was the best way

I don't know how it never occured to me that you could stack these buildings.  :doh: I guess I would have figured it out if I had more than one!  :lol:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

A question for you, Damo!

As, Stefan said, "you are not new to Playmobil" ... So, I am curious about whether or not you like the "construction system" used by these Playmobil western houses.

As you probably know, Damo, the western houses and fort were the first construction system produced by Playmobil. (Please see attachment.)

This unnamed system was introduced in 1976. It was eventually replaced by the Steck System which came out the following year (1977). Steck was first produced as a medieval castle and medieval house construction system. Later the Steck system was extended to include all Playmobil construction (including the western buildings). However, the western buildings were not replaced with Steck until the Western Train was introduced in 1987. (Please see attachment.)

Now for the question, Damo ... Do you like this first Playmobil construction system as much as Steck? Or, do you like Steck better? How about SystemX ... Do you like this first western construction system as much as SystemX. Or, do you like SystemX more?

Just curious ... :eh?:

All the best,
Richard

My apologies for being a bit off topic, Damo!

The attached picture was on the site that Andi mentioned above.

I do not remember ever seeing it before. Is it Playmobil? Does anyone know?

No problem, Richard - I too have always wondered where those stairs come from. They work with Steck don't they?

As regards to the Western construction system, I think they look great, however, they are the most precarious, annoying and may I say tacky things anyone could possibly have to try and assemble. However as I said they really do look good ( when doors, posts etc aren't hanging off)! Steck is still by far my favourite :love:

Damo :)
