Continuing with wheel construction.
Not to argue thee fine points, when I asked Mary Ann at PBL for some truck screws, she said they were 1.7 x 5 mm. All I know is tat tthe crewslike a 1.7 tapped hole. Maybe we've got 3 periods of truck screw offerings.
Second, I may have offered this before, but this seems to be a good thread to include.
I use nominal 2 X3 blocks to aid in car construction. One of the blocks I've drilled to accept a small hand vise, and holes to receive the side frame pins of the newer version of the PBL side frames. With the side frame held by the block, I can apply the journal box cover in seconds rather than the minute it took when I tried to hold the parts with my fingers.
