I'd forgotten about that, if you look you would be climbing the centre
stairs with very low hand-rails.  TO give the esaltor look I edged the steps
so that they fade up, but it meant the stairs and escalator were out of
sink - this is the only way I could think of!  I could change the railings
but I went for a simple look (though its far from dam simple almost every
corner is rounded).  I'll have a think but if anyone knows how parallel
stairs and escalators hand-rails work, could you let me know (what a
quastion).  Thanks

Pete
