I need a Minitrix Glaskasten side rod pin

Sigh.
 I sent a rod pin flying, while working on my glaskasten.
My model is 12212 the PN is 14 0717 08.

I note that the rods differ on even Minitrix glaskasten models.
Luckily, it runs fine because both wheel pairs are geared.
Any hints on a where to find one, would be great.
I'd even buy a dead one for parts.

Thanks for reading.

kmcsjr,

i just lost a rod pin as well on my new kato pocket line steam engine. it does look like i might be able to use a larger pin and cut off the head and a small amount of shaft to reproduce the missing pin. file the head flat. might not be perfect but probably un noticeable at a foot or two...

also might see if tomix or kato engines have similar spare parts you can get ahold of and modify to fit.

just a thought.
