Hi Don;

 I think your best bet would be Spring Creek Model Trains in Deshler, Nebraska. Dave and Deb will be more than helpful. They are a vendor at two of our yearly Train Shows and that's where I get most of the stuff like that ! T.B.

Model railways (railroads) suppliers are a treasure trove when it comes to things like scale bolts etc. Always worth a look.

Don,

When you asked this back in 2012, you were directed to Grandt Line bolt heads.  Now Grandt Line is out of business and the new go-to is Tichy-Train.  They should have just what you need.

Thanks, Rick.  I will give them a try.

I have a set of hex punch and dies.  I’ll check the sizes when I get home.  Try your Google-Fu for “hex punch and die set”.

If you just need a few and my set has the right size, I can knock out a bunch for you.  Just not 100s ‘kay?

 

Thanks.  I need eleven more, but that will be a last resort.  I am still trying to get duplicates of the ones I have been using.

Plastic bolts
Posted by Don Stauffer on Friday, November 8, 2019 3:21 PM

I need some dummy plastic bolts for a project. I had a bunch, with .050 and .075 heads.  I have enough of the .075s, but not enough .050 ones to finish the project.  I went looking with google and could not find anything.  I got the ones I had from the Model Railroad section of my hobby shop- they have no more.  I tried Walthers, which I used to believe had scratch-building supplies of all kinds, but their search function yielded zilch.

Anyone know any place to buy those things these days?
