Okay guys....I have a question that I hope someone can answer.   On the Pecos River Brass cars, what diameter truck mounting screw was used?  These are a shouldered screw, with a short threaded end.  I think these were very similiar, if not identical to the US Hobbies ones from the Max Gray era.   I need to know if these are 2mm, 3mm,  or some oddball size, like 2.4mm.   Unfortunately, I do not have a metric rule, or a micrometer to check with.   Plus, (Pecos) John Smith is long out of business.  Thanks in advance.......

Thanks Ed.  I did contact John Smith, but he doesn't quite remember those cars, or what size screws were used, which is understandable since he has been out of business 10 years now.  He does seem to think it is 2mm, so I will hit my local ACE Hardware who has a vast selection of every concievable fastener you could ever need.   Hopefully they have some brass 2mm round, or filister head screws.....
