Does anyone know where I can get brass ship's bells in 1/350 scale in various sizes?

 Go to Hobby Shop that specializes in model trains, more specifically "HO" scale trains. A good shop will have a selection of aftermarket items including brass locomotive bells as well as white metal bells. While the "HO" scale bells might not be accurate for all 1/350 scale ships, they would be appropriate for many larger ships. Also "N" scale could offer aftermarket bells if you can find a shop that carries this smaller scale. Most good train shops have Walthers' HO and N  train catalogs(it's thick as a phone book) , perhaps you can locate what you are looking for. Good luck.

Thanks John! Is there any chance you happen to know the measurements on them? I know they are probably pretty tiny...

Hey , PATRICK ! the bells on a "N" scale train are about a whole sixteenth of an inch tall for the bigger ones . The smaller ones can be gotten from ANY 1/350 scale gearing or other destroyer . I hope this helps you .       tankerbuilder

Thanks! Ive tried looking at Walthers and they are not the best at showing a good picture or giving good measurements. But your ballpark measurement helps. Thanks!
