They have several different chains but nothing different than what I am finding in most places.

Re: Need some help locating small chain
Thanks for all the searching and help guys,
I have ordered this chain from A-Line they are an HO Model Railway manufacture. It does not have the correct link style but it is small enough, 40 links per inch. I found it in silver, it is a discontinued item but found one on eBay and one from a hobby shop in Washington State. That will give me 2 feet which should be more than enough.
I will keep looking but do not hold out any hope of finding the correct style in a small enough link to work.

Re: Need some help locating small chain
If I need chains I go to ---
www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk
The site has the worst layout if you are looking for anything in particular but they do have a good range in stock if you are prepared to search the site

Re: Need some help locating small chain
Thanks Barry but they only ship in the US..
Mick I've searched high and low on ebay, costume jewellery there's nothing small enough. I ordered the two smallest on eBay I could find and were to big.

Re: Need some help locating small chain
Jake I have all manner of chain from
http://www.Cornwallmodelboats.co.uk
I have chain that would do a nice job as an Anchor Chain on a 1/700 scale battleship right up to a chain I am thinking of using as a tow chain on a 1/16 scale Halftrack,
If you type "Chains" in the search box at the top of the "Home" page you will get a list of the various chains that are available.
The way to measure the chain you need is to count the links per Inch at least I think that's how its done but you can E-Mail the dealer to confirm that. Sorry I cannot be more help.
