700T tender step screws.
Posted by train18393 on Monday, December 12, 2005 4:38 AM
I am just getting around to putting the four corner steps my dad took off the Lionel Hudson when I was just a little shaver. I have the steps, but the screws have been misplaced. Go figure, they were only removed about 50 years ago. Any idea what size these screws would be? they appear to be about #4, but the thread is coarser than a 40, maybe smaller. perhaps a 3-32 x 1/8" if such an animal exists.

I also have some solid rail O-72 track that screw togeather with joint bars and square headed bolts with nuts. Anyone know if original or reproductions are available, and if so, where?

Lionel liked to use 3-48 and 4-36 screws.
