I bought a used custom built flat car but I wanted to swap out the trucks. The trucks seemed loose in the first place. I unscrewed the truck, and the screw just popped out. The hole in the bolster is way too big for the screw, and I dont have any thicker screws to screw the new truck in.
Should I putty the hole and then drill a new one? Plate over the bolster with sheet styrene and then drill a new one through that? Fill it with CA and drill through it after it hardens?
What should I do? The screw falls out of the hole. It's a 2-56. Any thicker and it won't fit into the truck. I've tried gluing the screw in, but the truck is too loose even with the screw all the way in.
