Cardinal Richtea Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have an old Hornby loco from the 1970s where the case is detached from the chassis. It still fits back on but is missing the tiny but long screw to keep it secured. I have been around several DIY shops and they say I need a specialist 'engineering screw'. I have looked online but am uncertain of what will be correct size and much of it looks over priced or in excessive volume. Hope someone can advise.

RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted March 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2016 Can you give us a clue as to what the loco is? Andi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richtea Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Can you give us a clue as to what the loco is? Andi Sorry, I forgot. It is the same loco as this: http://s1296.photobucket.com/user/Rails-Vault/media/2015%20Items/January%202015%20Items/January%2028th%202015%20Items/046_zpsoflnbnc1.jpg.html Though possibly not the same version. It is from the late 1970s and was part of a Hornby train set. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted March 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2016 Sounds like you need an S1003 screw I don't have and in stock though ☹️ A quick check on eBay though ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triang-Hornby-S1003-Thin-Screw-for-Side-Boiler-Body-Fixing-3817-FREE-UK-POST-/291695961314?hash=item43ea6f24e2:g:desAAOSwf-VWZf~j 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted March 10, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 10, 2016 Actually, looking at the ebay listing he's a bit of an odd one with loads of terms and conditions etc Barry's daughter is a better bet, and you'll have some spares http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Hornby-SPARES-S1003-8BA-SCREWS-6-OFF-/401075023960?hash=item5d61ef3058:m:mAjuGUTzzaLB4SUW4OL5SpA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCB Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The S 1003 screws into the smoke unit which is not shown on the drawing. It is short not long and thin. You probably have either the wrong chassis, the dull wheel Jinty, 08, etc chassis fits but the early ones had a long thin securing screw down the chimney. The 8751 Chimney does not line up with the down the chimney Jinty chassis screw hole. 8751 have bright plated wheel tyres. If the smoke unit has been removed there will be nowhere to screw the body screw into. The 8751 is a pretty bad model, too wide wrong wheelbase, but is reliable and I have a detailed one with romford wheels and a Farish 94XX on another 8751 chassis with Romford wheels which has been my up side pilot for the past 20 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
