Hi Phil,

In 7mm scale - and it is important that all communications should state the
scale in which the correspondent is working, otherwise I, for one, am
unlikely to contribute - I use Slater's plastic hornblocks, ref. 7960. They
come ready to use sprung, but may be used for beam suspension. They are easy
to fit - I simply use Araldite Rapid.

I find that they meet all your criteria as stated below.

When fitting, I cut out that portion of the chassis in which the hornblock
will sit for all but one axle, leaving that one 'solid' to act as a datum
point. When the remaining axles' hornblocks are fitted I cut out for, and
fit, this last axle's hornblocks. I believe that doing it thusly ensures
that the wheelsets will be in their correct relationship to the rest of the
chassis. And doing it is a lot easier than describing it!

Regards

Dennis
