121 forum posts 100 photos	Hi Does anyone know where I can buy some steering chain for my Durham & North Yorkshire engine in 2 in scale. I have tried Blackgates, and they said they have tried to find some, and have had no luck. All they can find is the unwelded link chain. Can anyone help me please. Thanks Garry

Admittedly I hadn't soldered the links. This 316 stainless should prove to be more up to the job when running on rough ground !! Again many thanks. Cheers, Jim.
