My LDraw mockup has been modeled with headlight bricks, based on their common
availability, and because I prefered to point the smooth top surface of the
tiles 1x2 all upwards in the same direction, instead of alternating bottom side
and top side up.

Sorry for that, I expressed myself a bit sloppy. I meant feasibility of using
long tiles and keeping these in place or combination of long tiles and bricks
1x1 with 3 studs. I believed you on your word (and on my imagination) that using
1x1 bricks with 3 studs and only 1x2 tiles would fit.

Good thinking.

Yes, I drawed the principle mockup fairly quickly (during my work break) not yet
knowing 100% what tiles would end up where. For a real attempt I agree I would
probably limit the heigth or witdh of the rack so that the maximum required
diagonal could be made with a single tile 1x8.
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
