Hello! I'm new to the site.
I have a few Tyco steamers which are missing the screw that connects their tender to the drawbar. I'm a little tired of swapping the screw between models, specially since that screw is chipped.
Do any of you know where I can get a suitable replacement?

eBay will probably have some listed somewhere...
BTW, that screw is not "chipped": that's a self-tapping screw (2-56, I believe) that appears on a great many Tyco/Mantua steamers...very handy to have.

The screws on Mantua/Tyco locomotives are 2-56 screws and lots of places sell them. I have not found a source of the screws with the washer built into the head.
If worse came to worst, you could use a separate washer. Also, the drawbar screw at the tender wouldn't need a washer because the spade connector at the end of the wire from the motor serves as a washer.
