I hope to open a topic on other people's use of diaphragms on passenger cars.
The photo below is of a pair of new Roundhouse 60-foot baggage cars. The were almost a full inch apart as-built. Ridiculous!
So mounting new long shank whisker Kadees in pockets setback to create a 0.4-inch spacing looks much better and I hope to find diaphragms that can operate down to 32-inch radius curves with this spacing. They need to be far more flexible that the old Walthers paper accordion types I used years ago.
SO any discussions and photos on this topic with your successes and problems would be appreciated - perhaps by many others too.
