I may be going crazy ? But I remember when I was a kid decades ago  … a set of small wooden blocks from Germany[Kibri?] that when put together they look like Native American Pueblos. The set came with little 6mm(?)plastic Cowboys & Indians. Anyone know what I'm talking about ? Where I can get some ?  |

My son brought back a set of wooden blocks made by Schlob-Gaukasten (hard to read what I think is a "G") from Germany back about the year 2000. You can make a castle out of the blocks with natural wood walls and red roofs. No figures with them, just blocks. |

The German term may be "Baukasten" which would translate as "building kits". |

I had those when I was a kid. I especially remember the different colored tiny little cowboys and Indians! |

The korrekt term is probably "Schloß-Baukasten" which means "castle building kit". The ß is a specific German letter that is a sharp s and is often written out as "ss" or (in very old German" as "sz". This, however, makes the term very generic.
link Kibri is a German company that produces kits for railway modelling, and thus they had a LOT of plastic sets on the market, but no wooden kits. |

You've all got me curious about these tiny cowboys and Indians. Any photos, are they still available? |

Definitely not Kibri.
I´ve tried a few search´s but Nothing has come up with a Building set Looking anything like a Pueblo and with Little plastic Indian figs.
Any pics? If it´s pre 1996, if it´s a Castle set then search using the sharp S..after 1996 it changed from Schloß to Schloss |

Well guys … here's what I did with the few pieces I had left. Note: I did add some other bitz to them. But no pics of the little plastic cowboys & Indians that came with the set …
