Jeff,
stubs are fine on curves or straights, I've forgotton how many I've built now over the years, must be now reaching a total of 45 to 50 in H0n3, 0n3, 7/8" and 18" full size.  Rails were code 40, 55, 70, 125 and 12lb.   Never had any problems except expansion on the sliderails pinching up on the headblock.  Had that happen inside in H0n3 and outside in 7/8" and just last week on the 18".   Stubs are so much easier to build than blades, I've only ever made 4 bladed and they're on the 10.25" park railway; hate 'em!

Back to our regular programming (C&S theme) sorry it's not Kokomo.
