I have a couple Tyco engins that have somewhere lost the main screw that goes up through the saddle into the boiler to hold the body in place. Anyone know what size (2-56, 3-48?) and length I need to replace them with?

2-6-2 Prarie
0-4-0 Shifter (probably the same screw since the body is the same)
4-8-0/4-6-0 Twelve/Ten Wheeler

Also need one for the Yugoslavia made 4-6-2 light Pacific that's been sold by Life Like, AHM, Model Power, Mehano, and currently by IHC, but that one I at least have some others I can use to compare with.



The 2-6-2 is missing it's lead truck, too; does anyone know what other engines shared that part (the tender drive 2-8-0 perhaps?) or if it's the same as the trailing truck on the 2-6-2 itself?

Thanks -

The screw for the 2-6-2 Prarie and 0-4-0 Shifter is a 2-56x5/8.
The screw for the 4-8-0/4-6-0 Twelve/Ten Wheeler is a 2-56x13/16.
I'm not sure about the Yugoslavia made 4-6-2 or the 2-6-2 lead truck, I think it is the same as the trailing truck but I'm not positive.
