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

Hi Norton, Thanks for posting the Lionel part number for the K-Line 18" heavyweights diaphragms.  I searched the OGR Forum and found your post.  I'm looking for some.  Lionel still has the parts in stock.  (It's 10/16/2021 today.)  Lionel must have the parts because Lionel manufactured some K-Line items after K-Line went out of business.  (But I guess that's obvious.)  Brasseur Electric Trains has the part, too.  It's under the Lionel parts list, not the K-Line list.
