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, and mount the whole lot on its side. That would give you a
taller window, too.
