Hi Rance, Don; Google shows that Mann Optical offers a "Universal" screw and nut grabber.

I guess I had better stick with the metric set, however, rather than the inch ones. thanks for info. regards, Rance On 1/24/2012 17:34, Don Thompson wrote: Dear Rance, We had to special order nut drivers for the 2-8-0. They are 1.6mm and impossible to find in the US. We still have some if that will work, but I suspect they might be a bit larger.

I looked for some nut drivers that I thought I had, but couldn't find them at home (typical). I checked with Micro Mark and they have a few sets sets, in metric and inch. Has anybody used either of those and which would be better for the engine side rods? I assume that the metric would be best since the engines are made in China - however, maybe the manufacturers (AM, SHS, etc.) might make a suggestion. Does anyone have any other suggestions besides MicroMark where I can order them and have them sent to California??? Thanks in advance for any advice. Rance Velapoldi (Tranby, Norway) ps Any suggestions for a loc tite material to hold machine screws in? Might as well order both together.
