The screw attaching mainrod to side-rod/driver on an Annie 4-6-0 has been lost during a run on my friend's railroad.  He's expecting company end of this next week and is desparate for a fix.  I suspect this is a unique shouldered screw.  Does anyone know the thread size for this?  With screw/thread size, perhaps a temporary fastener can be improvised while Bachmann sends a replacement.  He may pull the screw out of the other side of the locomotive, but with fine threads like that it's hard to determine size by looking at it visually.
Any tip might put us in the right direction.

Thanks, Dennis

I'm doing my first modifications on my Bachmann, "Connie."  I have moved the headlight up where I want it and have Colorado style marker lamps to install on the smokebox.  The markers are plenty large enough to illuminate with some style of grain-of-wheat lamps.  Can anyone tell me what voltage and style of bulb to order?  I don't know what voltage the headlight is.  I would like to use the headlight power feed to power the markers.  I am also thinking of wiring the markers in series to produce a softer color or glow, then tie them to the headlight feed.  Will the circuitry in the Connie support such an add on?

I don't want to overload a circuit board with excessive power draw.  Tips would sure be appreciated as I'd like to do this right the first time.

Thanks,
Dennis

Have new Large Scale, "Connie," and want to get things going right.  I understand some of the Loctite requirements for counterweights and motor, but have never disassembled one of these.  Someone said that, "TOC," had nice instructions available. 

Where do I go for this?

Thanks, Dennis
