I think the train was to be built using these black plates but then the
design changed to allow an electric light to be added.
On top of the boiler, instead of using the 4 black 1x1 plates with
horizontal clip and the 2 black town umbrella stands.
You mow end up with different parts left over which may be more useful!

Has anyone found a useful purpose for the 4 black plates 1 x 2 with
handles (Type 2) part number 3839b which are included in the small loco
set 3740. They are not used in either of the two engine designs of this
set as detailed in the instruction book.

I find it annoying that the stickers have the numbers 317, did LEGO not
realise that people may buy more than one set - they could have used
say 616, which placed upside-down would have been 919.

Also on the passenger coach 10015, why "HC514"?

On this set at each end on the balcony I have replaced the 3 black
1x1 round bricks and 1 black 1x1 round plate with part like the
umbrella stand (sorry don't know its correct description), and the
black cone upside-down at the top.

(...) The part in question has two handles. These are horizontal and at end of the plate. Here is a reference: (URL) (23 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)
