Screw Sizes for MTH Trains?

BillPOGR Forum Member

I am re-assembling some MTH Railking Steamers but I don't have the screws.

Does anyone know what type and length of screws are used?

I need the size/type & length of:

-- the machine screws to hold a RailKing steamer Metal Frame to the Metal Boiler.

and

-- the self tapping screws to hold a Metal Frame to the Plastic Tender.

If I know the types of screws I can order some online.

Thanks in advance!

Usually, the boiler mount screws are American 6/32x3/8. Tender is #6 self tap metal screw x 1/2'' Can add a washer if no washer head screws are available.
