AF Tender - Screws Keep Falling Off.

Classic Toy Trains Forum

The metal shell of the tender on my AF #312 steam engine is held in place by four screws. Lately, I keep finding them, one or two at a time, laying along the tracks. Any suggestions for a fix to keep these screws held tightly in place?

Thanks.

Hi Rich,

A quick easy fix is to wrap a turn or two of teflon tape like you would use on plumbing around the screw.

Ahh, very cool. I have that stuff in my plumbing box of goodies.

Thanks, Jim.
