1x1 round bricks will fit in the center of a Scala stud (as will any
other shape which has the same cross section as a tube). The studs are
normal height, so 2xY plates also work.

Doesn't the dolphin have a 2x4 tube area on the bottom?

I don't know about space, but I think these were in Fabuland sets, like

This is an interesting part. I'd love to get a bunch of these in a
decent color. They would make nice grab rails for trains.

I picked up both this set and 3119. While they are pricy, it was
interesting to see what they looked like. Now if I can find someone
enough into Scala to be willing to pay something for the bits I won't
use.
I just wish the floor plates like in 3119 were a multiple of 16x16.
They're a multiple of 22x22. If the big one was 48x48, it would make a
good base for train modules.

| One other interesting thing, I haven't checked it out for sure yet, but the baseplate has an extra rim which looks like it will make it the same thinkness as a plate instead of slightly thinner. This is also the case for the baseplate in Belville (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jan-00, to lugnet.scala)
