Ray,

LOS and I were having this exact conversation.

I'd you look at the close up of the mock up, the design is about 0.090" from being drop in and having both an unmodified truck being having clearance to swing and a Kadee coupler mount.

I was debating how I would finish this design. I could either shorten the filler block or trim the tabs off the truck and I think I'm going to leave it as is. For me, I'm going to trim the tabs off the truck, but since the blocks are plastic, if the user wants to keep the rucks stock, then the trimming of the blocks will be the way to do that.

So, to answer your question, it's up to the user of the spacers and pilot filler blocks, you can either trim the truck or the block.

Thanks,
Mario
