Hello,

my name is Werner from Germany.
A friend is building a German locomotive in scale 1:32 and He needs a roller chain with a pitch of 2.5 or 3 mm.
He only found one supplier in Japan who is not willing to supply half a meter to Germany.

Does anybody has an idea for another supplier?

Many thanks and regards
Werner

It might be worth trying this company, who list a German outlet, but only slightly smaller or larger.

RS-6; 1.9mm pitch
RS-11; 3.75mm Pitch

0r this is about 3mm, but acetal resin
