Hi Shaun -
Wow, pretty advanced stuff. I think I learned some new techniques from your
original post - thanks!
I'm at work and don't have any pieces in front of me, but I'll try to
address your questions...

0.25? Not any way that I know of. Would be extremely useful if someone
figured it out, though!

Try this part (http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4081a). I seem to remember
someone using it for a 1/10 stud offset in a 2-wide train car. There are 2
versions of this part, and I think the difference is in the thickness of the
center ring, which would affect how it would be used.

Like I said, no parts in front of me - but I'm pretty sure that this part
does work like you describe (bracket + plate + tile = brick).

| (...) I was perusing the parts catalogue after my post, and I hit on this same idea. I'm planning on trying these two methods after work (bracket and 1x1-with-side-loop), and I'll report back on how they fare. Keep the ideas coming! -s (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.build)

| (...) I checked these out last night. The new version, with the thin center ring, results in a flush surface. That is, the center ring is 1/2 plate thick, so that a tile on either side ends up flush with the 1x1 plate. The old ones, however, have a (...)
