Does anyone have a set of these and the manual? I got them after reading they would operate on O42, however this does not seem to be the case ��

I set the middle trucks to the O42 mounting holes, but it's the end sets that are rubbing the frames. It does not look like they are adjustable in any way. 

I guess they could just sit as decoration in the yard,  but that takes all the fun out of them!

Atlas freight cars are better with 2-rail trucks on O-45. The wheels of the 3-rail trucks will rub a bit on O-45 curved sections.

They rub a lot on the 42 curves. It looks like the steps on the sides would get in the way of the drawbar too.  

Maybe O42 curves were bigger back in the day when these were first made? o_O

And now it looks like they will scrape my tunnel portals as well
