Hi, I'm looking for screws for the Williams/Samhongsa Brass Dreyfus Hudson. I need the screws that hold the main Drive rod to the wheel.
Also any parts for smoke units available? Thanks,
Jerry

Call Frank Vacek 410-465-3782 he's got lots of Williams parts. At York he's in the main dealer hall, UtZ -Toyota, Yellow whatever it's called :-)
Since we're discussing parts and Williams brass, just to be clear, I do not believe that Samhongsa ever made a Williams Dreyfuss Hudson. They made a lot of nice, basic brass for Williams (4-6-2, 2-8-2, Niagara, N&W J, others) during the Williams (and Weaver) Brass "golden years", but the early Wms Dreyfuss (not a great loco, but very "improvable" - I have one) were made by someone else (China? Samhongsa was Korean), based on its "fingerprints" and marginal construction.
The later, high-end Williams "Masterpiece" Dreyfuss locos were made by someone else (3rd Rail uses/used them too, I think) - well after Samhongsa exited the O-scale model locomotive business.
Or so I believe. Doesn't find you a rod screw, though, does it?
Thank you for the information, I had always been told that Williams' brass locos were made by Samhongsa, so I never looked into it.
You say these locos are "improvable", What do you do to improve them? Thanks again for the info.
