K Line Passenger Car Diaphragms

Try Hennings trains in Lansdale, pa. They are also a supporter of the Ogr board. Check above.

Good call David.  Got mine at Hennings.  They were a little big for my madisons, but a simple adjustment and everything fit fine.

Brasseur trains in Michigan may still have some. traindoctor.com

Some of mine are dying of old age.  I will replace them with accordion paper and metal striker plates.

Precision Scale makes some really nice rubber ones too.

Are the diaphrams between F-Units the same as the ones between their passenger cars?

 

Thanks very much.

Thanks Gents...........I've sent off a couple of emails.

 

Railrunning.........I don't know the answer to your question but I am sure someone here does!

 

 

If these are for K-Line 18" heavyweights, then the Lionel ones are a perfect fit.

Thank You

 

My cars are the 15 inch K Line 2002 Red Cross Passenger cars with six wheel trucks.

 

Will the Lionel ones fit these?

 

 

If they will fit the 18" heavyweight cars they will fit the 15" cars. The end caps are identical, the only difference is the body length. 

We have the 610-9060-010 in stock at discount prices and less shipping.

Will these diaphrams fit lionel 15 inch streamlined passenger  cars?

 

If you have broad curves it shouldn't be a problem. If you have small radius curves you could cut one bellow off.

Another way to trim rubber is with an abrasive. I would cut a wood block for a snug fit inside the diapragm. That will allow you to hold it perpendicular to a belt sander or flat rotary disk sander or even a sheet of sandpaper fastened to a flat surface. If you have a power tool the rubber will come off quickly so a light touch is needed.

Dug out my K Line 18 inch Heavyweights and like the close fit of the diaphragms.

The couplers do not protrude as far as on the 15 inch cars.

 

And the result is the longer coupler on the 15 inch cars leave the gap.

 

I'd like to have the Red Cross cars to have closer diaphragms.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank You
