Looking to fit 3-link couplings to all my rolling stock (not much to be honest, around 60 wagons, 9 coaches and 6 locos). I have a pack of the Instanter couplings from Accurascale, which are nice, but I don't like the plastic hooks. I also have a couple of packs of Smiths 3-link couplings and fitted a pair to a single wagon last night. The hook is good, but I found it went too far underneath the wagon, so would be looking to trim it to size and glue it in place, rather than use the springs and split-pins. However, the chain is too long for my liking.
Has anyone tried fine jewelry chain, such as this?

Cheap as chips and it looks about right being 3mm long per link (the Smiths links are 5mm long).
Cheers
