I finally got to finish several of the HOn3 type C trucks and they really are beautiful. Thank you for doing them in HOn3.
I sacrificed a pair in the name of rolling quality and ended up with some pretty good results using Kadee 718 wheel sets. First I used a #60 bit and did just a few turns in each journal. I also found that the flanges were just barely rubbing in the groove in the transom. A few passes with a needle file to deepen the groove took care of that. My trucks will now run away if my work table isn’t perfectly level. For assembly I generally followed Jim’s process for his Sn3 trucks. Thanks for posting that it did save me a bit of head scratching.
