I don't know but in catalogs the 7599 seems very similar to the 7299, i bought a package of stuff on eBay and among others it comes a box of 7599, perhaps they will work, as soon as the package comes i will let you know if they fit.

Thanks Francisco... I am ready to relocate the freight yard from under the mountain to a new extention to the layout, but I realised that I don't have enough screws...

They are a little smaller (1.6 x 13 mm) but available. Good idea, but I think that the c-track screws are too small for the hole and the track will have too much lateral movement.. I like the m-track screws as they have a phillips head slot, which is great for those awkward stretches...

Joined: 15/03/2003(UTC) Posts: 9,472 Location: Australia		Thanks McLae... Unfortunately, I have about 70+ tracks still unlaid and I recently purchased another lot that will arrive in the next week or so... I was hoping to find a metric equivalent... (After all - they do come from Germany?) I tried a search on 000 - got kids clothes, shoes and all types of thousands - no screws... Is there a web-based screw shop? Is there a metric conversion for 000? In the meantime, I will keep trying different things to find these screws..

Must have been second-hand.[xx(] Hint: THe M-track screws are good for mounting electronic stuff, like K83, 6040, and IB. Also, You might be able to use Viessmann catenary mounting screws. (I can test this if you want)
