Does anyone know the name/part number of the circled screw on a Premiere Camelback?

It would be very helpful if you'd provide the MTH Product Number (from the end flap of the box).
Then we could easily look it up.

i figured it would be the same on any of the Premier Camelbacks
i couldn’t find anything on the parts and sales website.
Looks to be an entire assembly, not just one piece. Also may not be a screw, more like a rivet with a styled head, thus only sold as an assembly.
Found using keyword search camelback, then refined/sorted using premier https://www.mthpartsandsales.c...h/?type=serviceparts

Alan, you’re like a country mile off buddy, the screw you listed is the common eccentric screw for a host of Railking steam, ……..the screw in question is not even a screw as Vern pointed out…….it’s a rivet with a hex head.

Since the whole part is available, this seems to be a no-brainer, just order the part!
MTH has never offered individual rod parts. All the rivets used in the valve gear/rod assemblies are pre-made in China. So the easiest repair like already stated is replace the whole assembly. If you want to try and fix it yourself, you might try a 1.2mm screw and peen the backside of the screw like a rivet.
I’ve fixed a few of these before, these Camel Backs, the Triplex, & the Angus,…..they all can suffer from this ailment,……actually, Chuck is pretty close for the repair without buying a whole assembly. The rod will support thread life, …I thread the rod for 1.5mm, start the screw in the hole, get just a tiny bit to protrude, then peen the nub sticking out,…..makes a permanent and better repair than factory, …..that rivet sees a lot of action of motion, so it’s no wonder some pop off,……

Good morning Greg: Since you are only looking for the screw. I always check my local hardware store first. Remember that Lionel & MTH to not make fasteners. They buy these parts and you can do the same. I needed a push nut this week and I went to Tradesmen Fasteners & Tool. They had the part. If you live in a large metropolitan area look for a company that sells fasteners. If they do not have the fastener in stock they will order the part.
Gary: Hope this helps & Hope to see you out rail-fanning. 🚂
