VINTAGE LIONEL TRAIN STATION, BANK, CITY HALL

After I listed this item, an observer sent me a note as follows:

There should be a wall extension with a sort of cornice.  A flat metal
roof goes on the inside of the walls and is below the top of the walls. 
The skylight then goes over an opening in the flat roof and is either
not visible, or just barely, when the building is viewed straight on.  I
think you should include one of the pictures you sent me as they make it
pretty clear what's there and what's not.  The main roof piece you have
doesn't belong.

The above may or may not be true.  I'm not a Lionel expert.  I did see, when I was positioning this item for the photo that there does not seem to be a method of attaching the roof to the building or to the skylight.  The dimensions of the roof support frame under the roof top matches the top of the building perfectly, but I don't see how it would attach to the main part of the building.  Currently it just lays on the top of the building.  I tend to disagree about it not being the proper roof.  The colors and size of the roof top and base of the roof top are too close to the colors of the main part of the building to support that theory.

 Received another note from an observer regarding the configuration of this building.  This is getting more interesting as time goes on.  This is the second person that has told me that the roof was upside down in the first two photos.  He also told me that there is a ridge in the center of the roof around the skylight hole to keep the skylight from sliding, this ridge is usable only when the roof is facing with the small ridge facing up.  There is a ridge there about 1/32" tall and it is enough to fit the skylight perfectly and keep it from sliding.  When I turned the roof over and laid it back on the top of the building, and put the sky light over it's ridge,  the roof doesn't look right to me but now both the roof and the sky light are in grooves that keep them in place.  It is also true now that in this configuration (as the earlier writer noted) the sky light is barely visible when looking at the building straight on.  So although the roof edge to me looks like it will capture water instead of shedding it, I am sold that this configuration in the fourth picture is the proper one.  Thanks again to those viewing this listing and passing on the information.
