I am searching for hooks that are large enough to look realistic in 35th scale. Ones that look like question marks....( ? ). I want to attach to chains to similate tie down equipment on a railcar. I've got plenty of chain, and have even ordereda few from Hudson and Allen that included chain. But at 5 bucks a pop, this will become rather expensive as I need at least 4 per rail car as well as an additional two to similate the chains used as safety when coupling the cars tgether

Someone suggesting going to Model Shipwrights. can anyone ive me a website. I couldn't find one. Or better still if you know someone who sellsabagful of these which manufacturer and a way to order some. Dave (Grumpyoldman) said he had this but couldn't remember where he ordered it from.

Hi Steve,

The only thing I can suggest it try a modell railway shop or site. They may have hooks for the wagons - 0 scale would be about right.

Sorry not sure where else to look.

Cheers

I wish I could remember the brand names, some are brass, large and small, and one set was in the railroad section, and had several different sizes in white metal.

Hi Steve,

Look for American Model Builders laser kit no: 402 in the modelrailroad
section of a hobby shop. 8 hooks to a pack ....2 sizes....white metal.....
$4.75 CDN.

Hope this helps,
