So seemingly the rule of thumb is to have the axle boxes to be a harder metal then the horn blocks?

I would think the opposite, i'd rather replace worn-out axle boxes then replace horn blocks.

Replacing worn-out horn blocks would require complete dismantling to enable the new horn-blocks to be machined for correct alignment once installed in the frames. With worn axle-boxes you would only need to drop the axles out.

Others may have a different view?
