N Gauge Forum

Hi ...
I recently purchased a 2nd hand N Gauge Farish Jinty Loco and I have spotted some incorrect and missing screws on the chassis. I am not sure what sizes they are or what type of thread they have.
Does anybody know what the correct screws are on my attached image of the bottom of my Jinty?

Where I can find and purchase the correct screws to replace the missing and incorrect screws?

Thanks in advance ... Mike

They are all standard screws but you'll probably not find them at screwfix. Some of the N gauge spare/repair sites will carry them and I'd bet https://www.farishnspares.co.uk will be able to tell you which you need to order.

What makes you believe the two marked are incorrect? As far as can be seen from the heads, they are correct for Poole made examples...  (Some Later Chinese produced batches had cross-heads)
As Alan says, any of the regular Farish Spares suppliers is likely to carry them.

Hi Alan ... well for a start the larger Csk headed sticks up as it is too big for the hole it goes in unlike the one next to it which is obviously a cheeshead screw seating in a counterbored hole.

Thanks for the tip about Farish Spares. I will see what they say,
Cheers Mike

dont go undoing the small screw "correct cheese head screw" unless you are familiar with these farish chassies--or you will wonder why the loco wont work anymore
