I am looking to purchase one of the above, I have already obtained the Bachmann version. Can any member recomend a retailer who stocks them.
Many thanks.

Does the Bachmann one not fit Dapol? I thought the hex bolts were similar size head.

I keep sets of BA and metric nut spinners by Expo, and use whichever fits.

The Bachmann has a larger socket head,

Maybe dcc supplies, or Peters spares?

Peters Spares don't have any. None listed on ebay.

Seriously, just buy small size BA and metric nut spinner sets as I suggested above, then you have tools useful for other uses too.
