[quote user="PC101"] I use a rattail file (tapered round) fine cut, to ream the red and black Kadee fiber washers. Insert in the hole and turn backwards to ream out the hole, if you turn inwards, the file will cut in to hard and lockup. Turning outwards will remove material slower. Being tapered, you can get a hole thas is snug or with some play.  As with the hitches being to short on the flat cars, most HO trailers come with two sets of landing gear, shorter for when in transit and longer for when sitting on the ground.   If the trailer king pin will not fit the hitch king pin hole, 1st. - ream out the hole, sometimes the paint is to thick, or 2nd. - shave the trailers king pin to a smaller diameter.  <div style="clear:both;"> </div> [/quote] Thank you for the tips.   Any idea about where the rub rails go?
