There is a 2x3 plate that fits on top of the 1x2 plate in the next step. The
studs from the 1x2 fit into the 'holes' of the 2x3, so the 1x2 tile is needed,
otherwise the smokestack wouldn't fit on it at all.

| Look at (URL), step 17. Instead of simply using a 2x2 brick to mount the chimney, the designers went to a lot of trouble to insert a 1x2 tile there. Why? To make the chimney break off easily? Cheers, Hao-yang Wang (25 years ago, 15-Mar-00, to lugnet.trains)
