Source for minature working hinges | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I need some help locating some really small 1/8"x1/4" or 1/8"x3/16" or even 1/8"x1/8" working brass hinges to replace a broken hinge on a locomotive cab door. I've check Micro-Mark and their smallest hinge is a little large and a different design and at this physical size it's pretty hard to make many changes. I did a web search and found some doll house parts suppliers who had hinges but they are all too large or non-working.

Has anyone found a good source for small working brass hinges? I have a decade old PSC catalog buried somewhere at home I'll look for this weekend but if someone has already found a different source I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks,

Butch

Butch,

PSC does indeed make very small working hinges. I think Clover House may as well.

Thanks Chris/Matt,

I'll check Clover House Chris and the hinges from the scenery sourcelist look very right Matt.

Just looked at the scenery source list and that is an incredibly helpful list of suppliers.

Matt, those hinges look to be the ones from PSC. I hope they are still available.

Thank you both.
