If someone could please point me in the right direction for K-Line passenger car parts would be great. I am in need of some rollers and diaphragms for the cars in the pictures. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

The biggest source for K-Line parts is Brasseur Trains (traindoctor.com).
Yes - Brasseur's.
And - since I had a duh! moment a few months ago, I thought that I would mention,
for future reference:
Anything that Lionel produces from K-line tooling is/may be available from their very
helpful/usable Replacement Parts department on their website.
I needed a pilot assembly for a K-line B&M Berk that I got as a basket case. Brasseur's didn't have it. Mr Bay didn't have it. Boing! Think, man, think! There it was, complete, under Lionel's "new" Berkshire parts listings. Dropped right in - and was probably produced when K-line was still around.
I know - I was probably the last one to think of this. Age is a marvelous thing.
Absolutely. And the diaphragms for the K-Line by Lionel aluminum streamliners should fit, if those are 15", 18", or 21" cars. The diaphragms for the 13" cars are smaller; Brasseur might have those.
Lionel's diaphrams for their 18" heavyweights are identical to K-Lines. You can get them from Lionel or Boxcar Bill and save a few bucks. As for rollers, go to Lionel's replacement parts page and search on "collector" and see if any might work.

Thanks for the help all.

I've tried many times to locate items on that site, not just K-Line, and can never find anything. Each page is blank with no parts listed. Guess you guys know something I don't about finding items there, but I'm interested to learn how you do. It'd be a good resource.
Thanks for posting and also how you accomplished finished results. Excellent

Call them direct. They are VERY helpful!

I got into their site without a problem but they haven't answered my e-mail yet so I am guessing I had better call.
