Funny thing, I’ve noticed the same issue with On3 wheelsets!   I’m especially careful to check for burrs on the end of axles…a few NWSL axles had these a few years back…

I managed to snap off one of the journal boxes on an HOn3 version of this…I’m thinking about beefing up the arch bars on that one…it worked fine so long as I was careful, but I wasn’t carefully on one of my tests last night…   I think that version could also benefit from slightly more space for the axle length as they seemed be a little tight.

I would recommend a journal/truck turner tool to make sure that the axle hole is clear of wax or to deepen it slightly if desired.   For On3, I like shoulder axles, but I do plan on using needle points for trucks with 26” wheels (SJCC needle point axles).

I’ll widen the grooves.

Would you prefer that I have holes printed in the bottom of the transoms so that you can just pin them from the bottom as you did?

Feel free to post your list of edits and thank you for helping me work out the details for Sn3!
