sub39h Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi guys, I have made a bit of an error. Whilst investigating the height difference between Bachmann's Mk1 and Mk2 carriages I took the bogies off one of my Mk2 coaches to figure out how I can space them to give the coach a little more height. In the process I've dropped one of the screws. I've got excellent vision and I've spent a good 20 minutes looking for it in the area I saw it drop with no success. It was on a wood floor as well. I think I'll need a replacement. Of course I'd imagine that Bachmann would be able to help but that would cost me a fair chunk of money just on postage. I was wondering if anyone knew if a non-proprietary screw was available that would fit? I would probably need a slightly longer one anyway once the bogie has been spaced. Many thanks for your assistance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 They are the very devil for going AWOL. Lost one from the mk1 sleepers while modifying the bogies to restore the coupler pocket guidance. I just use any suitable small self tapper with a thin washer to substitute for the large head of the original screw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
