The nearest size I have that are very close are No.4 x 1/2", but no.4 screws are around 3mm diameter and these are 2mm.

They could be metric as they are 2mm diameter, so my best guess is they are metric 2mm x 12mm.

Although not brass (I don't think the original ones are actually brass even though a brassy colour), I don't see why they would need to be brass, these are pretty close:-

Hi

thanks for the reply concerning the Peco Screws, and where I can purchase a suitable part.
T have now ordered some from this firm, and have also found the Web site very interesting.

Thanks
