I have just finished finding the last of the parts to convert it to a can motor while saving/keeping the original motor.
How would one recreate the diaphragms?
I haven't noticed any problems with the motor, although as noted I've just run it once. It needed oil and grease of course. Regarding the diaphragms, here are some photos, there are four per train (two in each articulation area). They're just folded cardboard that's been painted, but they look great. Very cleverly done, each consists of three pieces, two "striker plates" with an "accordion" in between. Presumably they just copied the original. Note one of them was not painted on its underside, revealing the material used- looks like the brown cardboard found in an "accordion" expanding file: https://www.staples.com/Staple...-Each/product_595372
