Thank you sir,

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

Good morning,
Try these folks out. They may be able to assist. https://shopchainsonline.com/?gclid=Cjw ... xUQAvD_BwE

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.

Hey Mick did you find any chain like Barry's above? I can't find anything that small in the UK I searched I searched last week ordered a couple but there to big, I need for my Panther build. If you found anything a link would much appreciated mate. Cheers

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

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.

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.
Shaun.
