    Does anyone know of a source of small spring that would fit over a collered 2-56 screw? I'm talking about the screws used to mount tender trucks on a ho scale model steam locomotive tender. I really need these, bad.

    Would a cut-down ball point pen spring work?

    Richard,
    Carburetors have all kinds of little springs in them. If you know some mechanics you can look thru their junk drawer and maybe find some that way too.
    Just a thought.
