3. The top can not be fitted with a plate but is perfectly fitted by a 1x2
tile which does not have a tube. The tile is slightly sliped on the side
which represent an offset technique (undocumented AFAIK)

This is a useful technique I and others have used before, but in this case it
isn’t actually necessary. Try putting a technic 1x1 brick with a half pin in
it, or a ‘dalek’ brick (1x1 brick with studs on all sides) on top of the
laid-down headlight brick. You’ll find you can fit an ordinary 1x2 plate to
the side, perfectly fitting over the two studs.
The only reason for using a tile here is to get the smooth surface. You can
just as easily fit a 1x4 tile or larger, which do have tubes.

I’m not sure but I think there’s a misunderstanding there. (I’ve been not
precise enough)
There are two tiles and if the one in the side (SNOT mounted) of the engine has
no offset, the one “stud up” has a 0.4 stud offset relatively to the clear
brick. (from the picture, i’m not able to read the ldr file) which prevent from
using a plate (or in other words, this building is possible thanks to non-tubed
tiles).

| (...) Right, I can see it now. It's the tile on top that's offset a little because the stud it's on (the transparent brick) isn't in a natural position. Of course, it would probably have been simpler to use two clear 1x2 plates with a tile on top, (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.schleim, lugnet.trains, FTX)
