PFM Brass locomotive coupler box mounting screw size
Posted by ncngrr on Thursday, May 14, 2015 1:08 AM

I have lost the coupler box mounting screws for my PFM Omaha 0-6-0. I have tried 0-80 screws and not correct thread size. Anyone know the correct thread size?

They're metric, Tom. If you have a micrometer or dial caliper, you could check the diameter of a similar screw and try your LHS. That's how I got the screws for my O scale Atlas bobber caboose coupler box screws--from a local dealer who handles RC cars and planes.

Call Dave at NWSL - he will know which size. 

NWSL sells a screw/nut/bolt variety pack with most of the common brass sizes.  I bought one years ago and it has come in handy on lots of occasions.
