This particular engine used a weight in the rear for traction. The weight was riveted to the body shell. Does anyone know what the part number is for the rivet?

I have tried to identify the rivet for that weight off and on over the years without success.
I thought one of the Lionel parts dealers was offering the rivet, but I cannot find it on anyone's parts list.
A standard hardware store semi-tubular rivet might fit, but you would need to be careful of the head. It should fit into the porthole. The head was too large on the ones I tried.

if you find a rivet with a head that is slightly to big, carefully grind the head so it fits into the porthole. That's what we toy train guys do best. make or modify items to fit.

Use rivet # 481-12 and metal washer # 2343-144 , the metal washer goes on the inside with the weight.
Use can use what Lionel Parts suggested, or the number of the rivet Lionel used is 6352-16. The same rivet used for the counterweight on the ice door on the PFE car.
