Help re: truck pins

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hey everyone

I have an old HO Rivarossi passenger car (PRR “Tower View” Pullman observation). I bought it cheap on ebay as-is, meaning one of the trucks was unattached. Nothing is broken, but the pin that attaches the truck to the car body is missing. So my question: Can I use a standard truck pin or do I have to get something specific for this particular car? Does anyone have any tips on where I can get a pin for this?

Not sure if this is important or not, but the pin holding the other truck on has a number “14” on the end.

Thanks

As I type this, there are two packs of truck pins (12 per pack) available on ebay.

You can use a 6-32 pan head machine screw in place of the snap in truck pins.

Excellent, thanks David. I’ll try that.
