I truly wish that I could assist more, thesiding, but I haven't yet needed to repair trucks on the Bachmann freight cars that I have.... However, here is link to the Bachmann Parts Catalog which may come in handy in case you'd like to research to see if they carry the screws you're searching for: http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66
When I searched for "screw" in the parts catalog, it brought up this page: http://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=screw
Not sure if the search results are what you're looking for/or are compatible.
Hope this helps!

| I'll take a look and see if I have any, I've got a couple hundred loose trucks and I think there are some of those in there.

| If you are talking about the tiny, silver colored Phillips head coupler screw, I do have a few. Are you needing the couplers as well? PM me.

| The Bachmann horn hook screws are extremely tiny, I used a few when converting a few locos from 4-wheel pickup to 8-wheel. If they aren't available I would recommend simply cutting a track nail to size and gluing it in place, assuming the nail head is large enough that the coupler doesn't fall out.

Find tiny screws is getting harder and harder, and I have no idea what to look for on the web.
I got MY trestles, just need some time to fool around with them. Every since I saw BNSFIA's
"L", I want to do something like that, maybe work in the twin peaks somehow. Thank you!!
