David - Although I do not know the exact size of the screw you are inquiring about, I did lose the same kind of screw off one of an Atlas O pulpwood cars.  I took the screw from the other set of trucks to a local hardware store ( one of the old fashioned kind ... not the big box chain kind ) and they gave me an exact match.  I came home screwed on the set of trucks and the car has been running great ever since.

The tank car was an online purchase that came without trucks or screws. I found the screw info here in the forum and ordered screws on faith. Hence the bracketing. I couldn’t find a retailer near me with metric down to M2.5. Hardware stores and big box only went down to M3. And train shops are getting harder to come by :-(

So thanks to Grainger I have a few hundred now and never half to solve this problem again :-)
