With some creative engineering, you should probably be able to fit create
just a 2x2 area, but you might have to sacrifice some interior space...

Yea, with a wide enough area, one could use the 2x2/2x2 brackets. It would
need a depth of 4 for each side though (meaning a container at least 8 wide).

There might also be ways to use the 1x1 brick with studs on all 4 sides.

Unfortuantely, to use the 2x2 Selbulba tile, and match up the orange and black
parts with adjacent bricks, it needs to be 1/2 plate above the brick boundary
since the 2 stud width corresponds to a 5 plate height, so each half is 2.5
plates high.

What elements besides a 1x1 brick w/recessed side stud and the 1x4/1x2 bracket
have a half plate dimension?

(...) Thin walls. Here's my solution, only problem being it requires a 1x2 orange thin wall. I don't think they exist (yet). I just built this on a 4x4 plate to try it out, hopefully you can follow along. On your black 4x4 plate at the center edge, (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
