I am looking for some 1/48 - 1/50 scale tie downs ( hooks, chains, hoops, etc.) in order to tie down my military vehicles on RR flat cars. Can anyone point me where to find such items?
Railroad hobby sections will have what you’re looking for.
Not necessarily. Why do you think I asked here?
O scale is 1/48. Railroaders have to secure their train car loads too, so that would be the source. 1/48 military stuff is fairly new so there would not be a large selection. Check out a Walther’s catalog or the model railroad suppliers.
Would Squadron/Signal have anything and do they still have a catalog?
I have lookd my self for truck tie downd and Accurate Armor has a wonderful set, only problem is they are in the kits and not avaiable yet as seperate kits, write them and mabe if enough of us show interest they will add to cataloge. Squadron reall doesnt have any thing.

Try Model Expo for some of their smaller ship anchor chains. I’ve used them for 1/48 flight deck tie-down chains.

If your interested in keeping costs down, one could always go to your local dollar store and/or hobby store(like Michael’s or HobbyLobby) and pick up some cheap jewelry chains. Just look for the one’s without gaudy decorations that are close to your scale and you’ll be set.
