I have an Atlas Seaboard engine purchased new in the year 2000, p/n 6811-1. The part that I need is the screw that goes through the truck and holds the roller assembly in place. A wire connects to the top of the screw (under the head of the screw) for electrical contact to the roller. Unfornunately the thread has stripped, and no longer holds the roller in place. I have contacted Atlas, and have been told that they no longer support this product as the item has been re-designed. Since model trains tend to be around a long time, I was surprised by this response. I have taken the screw to a local hobby store, who handles a small amount of trains, but mostly deals in RC items. They did not have a screw to match this, but described the screw as " a number 2, which is 15mm long, pan head, phillips." (My measurements show this as 15 mm from under the head to the end and 17 mm long from one end to the other inclusive of the head) Any suggestions as to where I can find this screw, so I can put this engine back together. Thanks.
