Thanks John. I have a block that no longer has slots, so I will need to drill holes. This was the reason for my original question. No one should even think about drilling without the silver bullet, but what if we have to? Looks like this is the correct configuration based on the latest...

Thank you all for the expert advice! As I read through the posts it seems there are differing opinions on how my wheels and axles should look. To be clear, I do have a drill press, so that is not an issue. I am also fairly decent at building pinewood cars, at least at the local level...
