As Jim notes, Grandt Line and Tichy are good sources, and Precision Scale also offers them, in brass or plastic. I prefer the brass ones only for working on brass models, and the plastic ones for all other construction. If you're planning on using them on wood construction, such as a wharf, you'll probably want to have a set of suitably-sized drill bits, too. On styrene construction, you can use only the nbw part, removing the mounting post, then simply cementing them in place with a touch of solvent cement. I still prefer to drill holes for them, though. 
I used some to detail my Atlas water towers (had to drill for the brass tie rods anyway):

And a few for the supports for the crossing watchman's tower:

And I thought that I had used them on the support structure of the teamtrack loading ramps, but apparently not.
:oops: : Oh well, at least there are a few holding the timber in place along the edge of the deck - wouldn't want someone's new car (or tractor) rolling off the edge, would we?
