Need a replacement truck screw for an MTH C-628 Alco

Mike,

Home Depot may be a source for this metric screw since they carry some metric fasteners also try your local hardware store; Ace or True Value they may stock metric mackine screws and star washers. 

Also the MTH number for this Railking 

item is 30-2301-1.

Thanks again;

Mike

Thanks John, I thought about those places but wasn't sure they'd have anything this small.

Mike

Sorry about the double post.

Mike

If it's a bit over 1/2", it's a M3x14 screw. 

Mike, try your local Ace Hardware.  I know Twins Ace in Fairfax City has M3 screws.  Probably others do also.  In northern Virginia, Home Depot is useless for screw variety; Lowes is much better, but doesn't have the selection of Ace.

Thanks for the help guys. M-14 huh ? Thanks John. I'm horrible with the metric system.

Mike

I have them in stock. Send me an email with your address and I'll throw one in the mail

Hi all. I'm in need of a screw that holds the truck to the motor in an MTH Alco C-628. I contacted gunrunnerjohn and he told me that it is an M3x14 or M3x12mm .Unfortunately he doesn't have any and sugested that I come on here.I also contacted MTH ,and their parts person is currently out. Also this screw is definitely round head and has a small washer on it.Just to see if it would work, I pulled one out of an MTH Baldwin AS-616 , and it works.

Mike,

If don't found the screws. I have a Screw and Bolt  Company here in Brick N.J. I will give them a call in the morning ask the questions. if they have them I will pick up them.

Mike, How many do you need ?

Hey John. A couple would do me fine.

Thanks;

Mike

Mike, I think I found them how many do you need .So give me a call on my cell phone

Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a screw and washer at my local True Value Hardware. It's a M3x16 .

It's bit longer, but the hole in the bolster is deep  enough to accommodate it.

Thanks for everyone's help, gunrunnerjohn and especially John DeAlto, for offering to mail me some screws. The help on the Ogauge forums is awesome!
