I don't think it will look right for an Automax.

Thanks for the pic Mike.

It just occurred to me that the Cincinnatian cars were heavyweights, which means the roofline is different.  Too bad, since they look nice.

Do you know what the minimum radius is for cars with these installed?

I'll have to remember those. As Aaron pointed out, they won't work as is for the Cincinnatian but even just some of the parts could come in handy.

Don't know about minimum but one of the Modutrak guys runs a 400 equipped with these on our 19" radius end loops.

Kato Daylight diner 3-car unit (along with bunch of other European prototype models) feature operational full-width diaphragms and they are designed just like Tony says: the diaphragms are designed to go into the car bodies while the train traverses curves.

out of curiosity... does the Broadway double diner use the SAME diaphram as the Daylight triple diner?

just curious... i know both had the full diaphrams.. and ASSume they are using the same design in the model.

curious minds would like to know.

No.  The Broadway Limited diner is a drawbar connected set of two stand alone cars.  The Daylight 3 unit car is articulated
