OK, I think I see what you mean with brackets to allow the journal lids to slide into place.  It's a bit like a (very) cheap knockoff on the Hewitt lid (Pat'd 1877).



I checked my HOn3 Type A/Litchfield/12t truck with a pair of Kadee wheelsets...boy are those things big!  Now, I remember why I didn't offer that one before!  I had the same issue with the Carter passenger car truck in HOn3 (only worse since those were designed for 24" wheels).

Here's what it looks like before I start selectively compressing (and expanding!) the trucks...



It would be nice to get some test prints ordered by this weekend.  I do not have any Sn3 wheelsets, so someone else will have to be the guinea pig on those...but let's actually make sure I get them right before anyone orders a bunch.  Little mistakes happen...
