If you can go to one (they are usually open to the public too) You can find chain (real chain from about 1/700 scale all the way to almost 1/24 scale .

Or this by Flyhawk?

GMM is a bit simpler,  but still looks better than railroad chain

Or perhaps read up on David Griffith's technique of four strand plaiting.    Brass wire CAN look like anchor chain
