Any good resource for modeling nuts, bolt & screws

#1

Post by collectors »

Has anyone found a good resource for model loco & Carriage screws, nuts & bolts IE: a compartment box with the 10 or 15 most commonly used. Or a good outlet for this type of thing. At the moment i am missing a couple of tiny screws that hold a plate in place over my couplers & wouldn't have a clue on the size of such a tiny screw. I have been used to ½”x6 as a small screw & these are much smaller. Thanks

I would have said Maplins but this is pretty good.

I bought a load of little fasteners from Peters Spares but if you don’t know the size then its hit and miss until you do.

May be useful to decide the size of bolts you need.
