Either the old faithful #5 or the "scale" #158 will work, but they're
both HO gauge
The #5 is slightly larger and somewhat more forgiving of sloppy height
mounting and uneven trackwork, while the #158 looks more like it's
prototype.

Thanks I have been away from my hobby for some time and now I am
building some rolling stock while I am away from my layout and my
tools. All I have is a pocket knife and a small screwdriver set.

'Bout time to buy a small toolbox and start buying tools. The toolboxes
with a upper shelf are better than the single hole ones.
