Hi - yes, looks my ALL my engines. I'm starting out with AF and am disappointed how the items I obtain seen to easily strip when removing and putting back screws - I bet flat head screws would do it and save the day ... are these they easily obtainable? I don't suppose there's a part number for them somewhere? Thanks

The old Gilbert power truck used flat head screws, as does everything Lionel made using the Gilbert design before switching to vertical motors.

To be effective there has to be a corresponding counter-sink in the cover plate. (which Gilbert and early Lionel/Flyer had...) Otherwise, flat head screws will stick out just as far as the round head screws.

I don't have any of the current vertical motor Flyer stuff, so I don't know if the cover plates have the countersink in them.
